I can tell you for sure and for certain that the precision rifle used in the 80's by the presidential security detail was a modified Rem. 700 in 7mm Remington Magnum. The ammo was custom by Remington. 160 or so grain fmj purchased by the lot after each and every lot was tested. Might have been 168 grain. The only thing standard on that rifle was the action, magazine, and trigger guard. The handguns at that time were SW .357 magnums. 3" K frames in crossdraws mostly.
I have no idea what those boys are using now, so I won't pretend to know.
Stateside they were very professional guys and oddly enough, loved to talk. Overseas they kind of went a little wild. Severe party animals. Projectile vomiters.
