Which Remington to get?

I'd go with the SPS. Contrary to what was said above, it does come with the X Mark Pro trigger. I have one and its there. Also, with that $250 price difference you can buy a different stock for it, like an Alaskan Ti style Bell & Carlson.

If you go on Gunbroker, you can find smoking deals on M700 XCRs in 7mm-08.  I saw one NIB for $599.

Is this only on the later 2010's or early 2011's. I have not seen that trigger in the SPS, nor is it mentioned being in them on the Remington site?

I've got the SPS Buckmaster. Blued, matte finish, nice enough stock. Still getting used to the feel of a Synthetic. Not the best trigger I've pulled, but good enough to put changing it way down on the To Do list

Got my SPS early this year so is either a '10 or '09 model I'm guessing. Just looked on their site and maybe they got rid of it on the SPS and are putting it on the more expensive rifles now?    The SPS info doesn't say it is available, but when looking at the trigger page it says it is now standard on 700 rifles.

Same as on mine, don't even need to take it out of the stock to adjust it.

doesn't the CDL have a longer barrel than most of the other rifles mentioned?  i think it's something like 24".  might consider a .270 over a 7-08 in that length.

Remington uses the X mark pro triggers in all of the 700's now.

I have a cdl and absolutely love it! i've shot a 8in group at 705yds with berger bullets, not bad considering the gun is bone stock.

Great info on the trigger!! I was not aware of that until now!! Thanks.

well, then if the SPS comes with the same trigger now, I change my vote to the SPS...

Save your money and put it towards a sako or at least a tikka. Sako 7mm mag with a nightforce scope..........oooooweeee. You'll be sniping you're game from the adjacent ridge.

Thats good, at least a $2600.00 setup! Sako Love them I have a Finnlight, in 260 rem. Tikka WAAAAAYYY to much plastic for my taste, pretty ugly to boot. Plus I like to get as close as possible before I shoot, less walking to do! But I like the way you think, Maybe I should get both!!!!!

[woodswalker]

Get both...swap the stocks.
