Also, what is the thread on the muzzle and moderator? The moderator might go separately and make the rifle easier to sell.

Re: Remington 700 SPS Varmint .223 Rifle.
In experience it likes the lighter bullet, when I bought it the sales info said 1:12 twist...and the RFD supplied 55gr ammo.safetyfirst wrote:To help this sell, what is the twist rate, there is only one .223 slot required, plus one for a centerfire moderator.
You’re specifying lightweight bullets on what with a heavy 26” barrel looks like a target rifle, is this due to the twist rate or experience?
I’d have thought a modern heavy rifle like that had a 1:9 or 1:7 twist or faster and would suit heavier target ammo?
You need two .223 slots as the mod is stamped .223 In Essex mods are listed by calibre.
The rifle is 6 years old so were they made with 1:9 1:7 twists back then?
Ref the muzzle/mod thread, No idea they were bought as a package already fitted. It's bigger than 1/2" UNF anyway.

Should happily stabilise up to 62gn odd then.
Perhaps split the moderator?
Good luck with the sale, it’s a fine rifle.

Only issue with not including the mod is being stuck with it not able to sell or use on anything else.

Depends if you sell it first. :)
Put a price on it and stick it on separately, if it sells you can reduce the rifle price, if not you can try and sell it with the rifle.
