Overview
The Taurus Expedition is Taurus' first bolt-action rifle, introduced in 2024. Built on the proven Remington 700 footprint, the .308 Winchester model wears an 18 in (457 mm) cold-hammer-forged, helically fluted stainless barrel threaded 5/8x24 for suppressors and muzzle devices. It feeds from detachable AICS-pattern magazines and rides in a polymer chassis-style stock with an M-LOK accessory slot, scalloped saddle cut, and an integrated Spartan Precision bipod mount. All metal is finished in Black DLC.
