This is a limited edition Remington M700/M40 "Scout Sniper Association" Commemorative sniper rifle manufactured from 2005 to 2006. These were limited edition rifles hand-built/assembled in the Remington custom rifle shop to ensure superior accuracy and conformance to original Vietnam era M40 Sniper rifle specifications. These rifles were endorsed and authenticated by the "USMC Scout/Sniper Association" as to their originality and were issued with a special "SSA" serial number prefix, Certificate of Authentication and a large USMC Scout/Sniper Association brass commemorative medallion. With an M40 pattern medium weight barrel, "U.S." roll-marked and "clip-slotted" M40 pattern receiver; M40 pattern walnut stock without checkering with the correct style heavy checkered aluminum buttplate, and 1 1/2 inch wide sling swivels designed for military style slings. With a one-piece Redfield type swivel style scope base and Redfield 3-9x scope with the serial number removed. Includes original box, M40 style green canvas sling, brass medallion, and commemorative picture sleeve. Also included is a United States Marine Corps Scout/Sniper Association letter from group president Tom Ferran relating to the sale of a Redfield 3-9x Variable Accurange scope, certifying the scope to be correct to the best of his knowledge as an actual USMC sniper scope, as used during the Vietnam era.

Excellent with 98% original dark phosphate finish, some light handling marks, and a few scattered scuffs. The stock is also excellent with just a few small dings. Mechanically excellent. Scope is excellent (with the removed serial number) with clear optics. Box is very good with corner and edge wear, and some tears on the sleeve ends.
