In the bolt-action world, there are few actions as popular and prevalent as the legendary 700 short action. It has been the heart of countless rifles for decades and remains the gold standard for reliability and precision. Recently, SDS Arms announced the launch of the new Spandau Arms RL Bolt-Action Rifle built around the 700 action.
Spandau Arms RL .308 Bolt Rifle – A Rifle For All Shooters
The Spandau RL draws on the heritage of Spandau Arms, combining classic styling with a modern bolt-action experience. Built around a 700-compatible short action, this latest offering gives shooters access to decades of stocks, triggers, bases, and upgrades developed for an iconic American rifle platform.

Boasting premium features and maximum aftermarket support, the Spandau RL stands out as a versatile platform that can be further customized to fit the shooter’s individual needs.
