Been looking to own this rifle for the longest time. When I received an email that EuroOptic will be working with Remington to release a handful of these rifles, I got excited knowing that I wouldnt have to shell out $5k-$7k for an SWS kit.
I do have a question though...what will these rifles come with? Will these come with the iron sights as depicted in the picture and maybe even a sling? Hoping someone from EuroOptic can chime in.
EO: Hey Mike, yes, we're excited too - this is really a special opportunity, the M24 is an awesome piece of history and it's important also to note that Remington Defense is making these, not Remington's regular commercial division. With respect to the kit, it will be minimal; it will have the sights as pictured, but it will not include a case or a sling. These items drove up the cost of the item exponentially, and the rifle as we're selling it is the best value for everyone from our judgement. We are having some custom cases made up for these - as soon as we have them in our catalog, they'll be linked to this listing.
Edit 10/23/2019:
To confirm, these M24s are drilled and tapped for the rear iron sight mount but will only include the front iron sight mount and riflescope bases.

I love the M24 SWS. And because of that I bought a Remington 700 5R GEN 1. I have a quick question. Besides the Prefix “ASA1987”, are there any other part of the gun that is different from the legit M24 that was issued to the US Army? I understand this is a commemorative edition.

Do these have new stocks or do they have the "re-issued" stocks and hardware like the ones Remington released a few years ago? EuroOptic: These will have new stocks.

The statement, "Despite being chambered for a short action cartridge the M24 is built on the Remington 700 long action – allowing the rifle to be rechambered for the .300 Winchester Magnum,..." is somewhat misleading since the rim diameters of the two cartridges are different. So, beyond rechambering, the buyer would need to replace the bolt or have the original bolt face enlarged. EuroOptic-- good point, deserves a little research and rewording. On it.--
