Lol, there it is, you got it. I was thinking the safeties, Lol.The Remington has a squared trigger guard. Obviously not a rip-off, duh...
I've heard that the Marlins have been improving substantially of late. I'll find out this week when my 1894 arrives from Bud's.However, probably like most of Rems lately, it'll be like dragging the action through a sandbox.
I think the OP was pointing out that Remington pretty much just copied the specific style of the Ruger Ranch rifle, down to the color/style of the stock, short barrel, trigger, rail etc. Probably a good idea for those Remmy Fan Boys who are satisfied with the crappy Remington quality control.I don,t know.
Other than the composite stock and rail, they both look like any other bolt gun to me.
Pretty much, yeah and it is a detatchable box mag. I think Ruger is selling a ton, I got one when they first came out. It is one of my best rifle purchases, hiking while scouting for coyote, shooting off the bench, calling rifle, blowing up water bottles with my son......it is awesome. The stock is the weak point but for a knock around, it doesn't bother me. It will shoot multiple loads into 1/2" The pic is H335 with a 55grn Vmax and Varget with a 55grn Vmax.I think the OP was pointing out that Remington pretty much just copied the specific style of the Ruger Ranch rifle, down to the color/style of the stock, short threaded barrel, trigger, rail etc. Probably a good idea for those Remmy Fan Boys who are satisfied with the crappy Remington quality control.
The question is whether it uses an internal or detachable mag like the Ruger?
Apparently Ruger found a pretty good market with those cheap little rifles and Remmy wants a piece of the action.
I agree. Everything has to be tactical now. Want to go dove hunting? Then your shotgun need a rail and threaded barrel......I think the firearms industry as a whole is at its plateau of ideas.
I want a tacky ti cal Winchester 30-30 lever action after seeing this thread with a laser, and Eotech scope on a picatinny rail. Also backup iron sights at a 45 degree angle, oh the stock will have to be a folding nylon with a desert patten and a single point sling. The barrel will need to be Threaded 10” so I’ll need an SBR permit. I’ll be using it for heavy brush white tails. Anything that I missed?
Good list. Bayonet lug and grenade launch tube capabilities would be cool on a lever deer rifle.I want a tacky ti cal Winchester 30-30 lever action after seeing this thread with a laser, and Eotech scope on a picatinny rail.

I knew this would be the closest thing to their defense. Not buying it, its not even close. Just my opinion. I'd actually be tempted to buy the Remington if they chambered it in 22 Hornet or maybe 7mm-08 with an 18" barrel. I am not trying to make fun of them, it is just so blatant. If I was going to make fun of Remington I would post a pic of their handguns.So how many years has Remington been making the 700 SPS Tactical?

I'm mainly seeing the style of scope mount as the only significant difference and that's an add-on part. I believe the SPS also came with a threaded barrel.
Sad but true. Fortunately the “tactical” fad is like an angry infected boil. It’ll bust when many of its followers begin to grow up & wean themselves off of the Ritalin.I agree. Everything has to be tactical now. Want to go dove hunting? Then your shotgun need a rail and threaded barrel......
