    Odyn,

    This question gets asked with a fair frequency and with very good reason. What are the real differences between the various models of the Remington 700? With the myriad of models that most of the top manufacturers list, it becomes extremely hard to ferret out the differences. However, in the case of the Remington 700 VS and P (PSS) the answer is simple. Besides the stock, basically nothing. Here is an excerpt from an assessment article:

    "This brings to mind an oft-repeated question. Shooters, looking to buy a sniper rifle and considering the Remington line want to know "What is the difference between the 700 PSS and the 700 Varmint?" Or, more appropriate to the current model offerings, "What is the difference between the 700 PSS and the 700 Varmint Synthetic (VS)?" Beyond the stock, there is virtually no difference! This similarity in offerings says a lot for the excellent work Remington does. The 700 VS has an H.S. Precision varmint weight stock. It has a moderately wide fore end and comes with one sling swivel stud. It has the aluminum bedding block. The pistol grip is narrow, about what you'd expect for a normal hunting rifle. In contrast, the PSS has the M24 non-adjustable stock, with a wide palm swell and a wider fore end. Now pay close attention -- the barreled action is virtually identical! There is no difference. Let me repeat myself. They are one and the same -- same barrel, same non-trued action, same trigger, and same recessed concave crown. Put a PSS stock on a 700 Varmint Synthetic action, and you have a 700 PSS. This must be a consideration if cost is an issue. On average the 700 VS costs about $100 less than the PSS. For sniping purposes, the M24 stock is far superior to the varmint weight stock, but it is not really worth the extra cost if you are on a tight budget. Accuracy levels are approximately the same with either stock but the PSS stock has a much better feel."

    As to Detachable Magazines, there are some differences. Remington DM parts fit Remington DM rifles only. But standard Remington 700's (non-DM) can use the HS Precision bottom metal and magazines. If you have an ADL, you will have to get a BDL stock or do some real significant inletting. If you have a BDL, just change out the parts. Magazines from these two makers are not interchangeable with each other. Be aware that the 10 round magazines are only available for the Short Action .308 length.

    Best.
