Remington M24 Special Run rifles only @ EuroOptic

[jb1000br]

We are excited to announce that we’ve teamed up with Remington Defense for a EuroOptic Exclusive run of the legendary Remington M24 Sniper Rifle! Until now, true factory M24 rifles have only been available to military and law enforcement agencies. To commemorate the founding of both the Army Sniper School and the Army Sniper Association, Remington Defense has agreed to produce 500 Special Edition M24 Rifles with serial number prefix ASA1987. Additionally, EuroOptic will donate $100 to the Army Sniper Association for each rifle sold!

The first shipment of these rifles is expected to arrive in September 2019

I've already written you via your website, but given the many varieties of these that have been produced over the years, and how many different models are currently on the Remington Defense website, it would really help if you could tell us where the major parts area sourced (barrel, bottom metal, scope mounts.) and where relevant, model numbers (esp. on the H&S stock on the model you're selling.)

Is there a Rem. Defense SKU number for this?

 

[jdodd]

Sweet deal. Love me some Eurooptic.

 

[Mouse Gunner]

In this day and age of fancy ass, wazoo PRS style rifles, do not discount the original Remington M24 sniper rifle. For decades we could only rely on the incredible recollections of prior Army snipers as the M24 was only commercially available as a $10,000 package deal to law enforcement. Then a couple years ago the rifle was made available to military and law enforcement through a letter head type deal as a Limited Edition with actual sniper painted stocks. Many found their way into the commercial market, some through Euro Optic where I got mine. I can assure you, it’s an incredibly accurate rifle, mine is certainly sub half MOA with Nosler Custom Competition 175 gr or Federal GMM. This is an incredible opportunity to own a historically significant rifle that’s amazingly accurate. We should thank Euro Optic for making this opportunity available.

Awesome rifle and shooting!

Seriously? Do you think car dealers know where every part (even every major part) of the vehicles they sell are made?

Call Remington if you want to know. I'm sure they'll tell you...………………………...LOL

If I'm buying the equivalent of something like a Mustang Cobra or Chevy Corvette, yes, I do expect they'd know if it has Brembo Brakes and (back in the day) a Lotus tuned engine.

Thanks, yes, I saw that SKU on the Euro Optic page, but it's not clear to me if that's their SKU or Remingtons. Particularly since that SKU doesn't appear on the Remington Defense page. I'm hoping to hear back from the folks at Euro Optic, who have always been responsive in the past.

I'd be willing to bet - the barrel, bottom metal, and probably the scope mounts will all be factory Remington dropped into an HSP stock. Still, as Mouse Gunner said, they'll probably be pretty decent shooters.

 

[shooterb]

This is mighty tempting. While I have a need for another .308 Remington bolt gun like I need a hole in the head, I carried one of these for a couple years, so there's definitely a nostalgia element there.

You asked EuroOptic if they know, and I quote, "where the major parts area sourced (barrel, bottom metal, scope mounts.) and where relevant, model numbers (esp. on the H&S stock on the model you're selling.)"

How in the actual fuck is EuroOptic supposed to know where Remington sources anything from? Get real. If stupid stuff like that matters so much to YOU, then YOU do the leg work and call Remington.

untwist your panties

its a EUROOPTIC EXCLUSIVE. not that dumb of a question. especially considering the SKU doesnt even show on the REMDEF website...

I never carried one, but I still love the .308. More energy out to at least 500 yards than the 6.5 CM (worse drop though), cheaper to shoot, easier on barrels. Nostalgic. Plus it's the same caliber as (older) M1As which is convenient.

I'd probably pick the .308 vs 6.5 CM depending on whether the objective is to hit the target, or down the target, depending on range and cover. Different tools for different uses

 

[EternalNoob]

FYI the reason I don't just call Remington Defense is, I'm a civilian, and I'd be surprised if they'd even talk to me.

 

[JFR]

Somebody will talk to you. They aren't that bucky.

The guy you are quoting there, he is eurooptic.
Im going to assume that since he didnt say that only remington can tell you specifics.

Wouldnt the answer be the same as every other m24 though? I dont know, could care less about an army rifle myself, just throwing it out there for confirmation or denial.

 

[M8541Reaper]

Hey EO how about we get some M40A3’s up on there and toss this LA garbage aside.

On a serious note, you can’t go wrong at that price if you don’t care about long action 308s. Every one I had while contracting was a sub minute system with M118LR, FGMM 175, and BH 175.

 

[jmar]

FYI the reason I don't just call Remington Defense is, I'm a civilian, and I'd be surprised if they'd even talk to me.

In the recent years they have started selling most of their Remington Defense guns to civilians. Trying to sell guns exclusively to MIL/LE doesn't really fly anymore considering the point of the 2A and such. They should be able to answer your questions. Let us know the results.

 

[jb1000br]

Noob,

They will indeed talk to you, and they have indicated to us they are making it in house (other than the stock obviously)

 

[derek1ee]

How does this differs from SKU 25732 that's available elsewhere at a cheaper price, other than the special serial number?

 

[EternalNoob]

- Different barrel. The OP rifle has a bbl. of 416 Stainless. Your SKU has carbon steel bbl.

- OP rifle has 5 rd internal mag, your SKU has 4 rd internal mag (hence my questions about which bottom metal.)

Has anyone ever converted a Remington long action from .308 to .300 win mag? I'd be a bit leery of just machining the bolt face to a larger diameter.

No clue man. Hell they wouldn’t even let us take off the iron sight mounting block so we could make use of both rail slots lol. Regardless, you can’t beat that deal for an M24. If you’re on the fence about buying it, just do it and you won’t be disappointed.

Found a number, can't figure out how to delete this message.

Thanks! So this looks like SKU 25727 but just the rifle, no optics/bipod and such?

I called a EuroOptics rep (Tyler) and he said it doesnt come with anything else. Just the rifle in a box (not even a sling).

 

[EternalNoob]

I've left a message with Remington Defense. If they call me back I'll post the results of the 5-6 questions I have for them.

 

[EternalNoob]

The picture doesn't even show it has having a 2nd forward sling swivel, which seems odd in a tactical bolt action.

 

[gopherslayer]

Are these being built at the custom shop? If they are I might have an in and get all the details for you.

 

[J Scott]

@gopherslayer-Excerpt from EO's website in the review section, "it's important also to note that Remington Defense is making these, not Remington's regular commercial division."

 

[Faronth]

Are these being built at the custom shop? If they are I might have an in and get all the details for you.

Excerpt from EO's website in the review section:

"Every M24 sold as part of this special event was hand-built by the same craftsmen who have been manufacturing the M24 Sniper Rifle as part of the M24 Sniper Weapons System for the last 30+ years. "

 

[gopherslayer]

Ah, gotcha. I guess the custom shop is swamped these days and can’t keep up from what I was told. So you should see them before 2 years are up.

 

[EternalNoob]

No call back form RemDef, but did get an email from Derek @ EuroOptic:

"Thanks for asking about these M24's. The rifle sku is not found on Remington's website but effectively, it is the same as the one you saw with the scope and bipod...but without either. So it is the stainless barrel, 5rd capacity long action. I also learned it does not come with the rear iron sight mount. The bottom metal info is not disclosed by Remington but these rifles utilize top loading internal box magazines in line with the standard model 700 design and the military requirement.

Derek"

 

[CrimsonxAce]

Anyone else receive any other tidbits of info from EO regarding this rifle? Was close to pulling the trigger on an SWS kit recently, but when I saw how much the seller was asking for it, I started sweating bullets lol

 

[Codiekfx400]

I ordered one today.Hope it’s decent for what it is.Lucky Mydealer buddie gave me his cost on it.

So your dealer buddy gets dealer pricing from eurooptic?

 

[RemDef]

- Different barrel. The OP rifle has a bbl. of 416 Stainless. Your SKU has carbon steel bbl.

- OP rifle has 5 rd internal mag, your SKU has 4 rd internal mag (hence my questions about which bottom metal.)

Thank you for bringing that to our attention. We had a typo on our new website, and I've put in the request to have it fixed. All M24s are built with a cold hammer-forged 416 barrel, and have a black powder-coat finish. Also, we only have the one internal-box bottom metal setup; the same steel 5rd box that's always been on the M24.

I asked the folks in the office, and none had your voicemail to pass along to me. Our phone system has a lot of branches on it, so I'm not sure where your message might have ended up. Please let me know any additional questions you might have, and I'll work on getting answers for you.

Are these being built at the custom shop? If they are I might have an in and get all the details for you.

No, but its the next thing to it. We have a dedicated floor on one of the back buildings in the Ilion, NY facility that exclusively handles all of our MIL/LE weapons. It's staffed by the most senior/experienced builders at Remington, and they handle all of our sniper rifles (700P, M24, M2010 etc.), depot-level refurbishment of the M2010 for the Army, and all of our government contract carbines, including the R4 and R10. Some of the individuals building these M24s for EuroOptic are the same ones who built and serviced M24s during the Army contract.


Sorry it took so long to get you guys a response. Let me know if there is anything else we can do to help.

Best Regards

RemDef

Wow, Remington Defense replying on our little forum, welcome!!

Thanks, and... yeah, well.. sorry. We should have been here a long time ago.

I‘ve been with RemDef since we were still the MPD (War Chicken logo, and all that), and have been mostly a lurker on SH for years. A bunch of the guys I work with read the board daily, but none of us have ever posted on Remington’s behalf.

Too many people on here own (and have served with) our rifles for us to not have any sort of presence.

Sorry it took so long.
Let me know if there’s anything we can do to help.

[RemDef]

The M24 specs on the website have been corrected. Thanks, again, @EternalNoob

 

[J Scott]

RemDef,

Thank you very much!

 

[J Scott]

I meant to add that I recently took delivery of your current 700P, SKU#86672 and the fit, finish, bolt smoothness, trigger, etc are very impressive. To be honest, I wasn't expecting it to be so nice. Of course, once I'm able to make to the range for break in and such, I'll be able to provide more meaningful feedback. I say all of this because if the M24 is put together as well as my new 700P, the folks that buy your M24 through Eurooptic are going to be very happy. Aw heck, maybe I should call Jason to get in line for one.

Thats great to hear. The updates to the 700P on your 86672 (1:10” 5r vs. the previous 1:12” 6 groove), threaded muzzle, oversized bolt handle, and 8-40 scope mount screws were new this year. We were looking to put a little of the M24 flavor into the 700P.

Enjoy the rifle.



ETA: and, yes, you should have an M24, too. Don’t forget that part of EuroOptic’s proceeds are going to the Army Sniper Association.

 

[Scarface26]

Has anyone ever converted a Remington long action from .308 to .300 win mag? I'd be a bit leery of just machining the bolt face to a larger diameter.

My 700 started life as a 300WM. I have 30-06 and 6.5cm barrels as well. Zero issues. Call Stewart Rifles if you get one and want to run 300wm. You'll need a bolt and barrel.

God bless America

So the bolt does need to be replaced.

Is this rifle available to a non leo/mil individual?

 

[J Scott]

I'm not LEO/MIL and I bought one nor was it communicated to me that I need to be.
