The only thing I've noticed, as said above, the SPS is the bargain basement Remmy 700. The stock is the lightest I've ever seen on a rifle, but as noticed above also, they still seem to shoot just fine.

I've purchased three in the last few years, one for each of my Son's and another for my Wife, and they all shoot the same load very well, which I'm thankful for. Sure don't want to have to load and segregate separate loads for three same chambered rifles of the same make.

They are True 700's though, and parts will interchange between them.

I recently bought the SPS Varmint.  Mine does have the new trigger.  The stock is pitiful so I ordered a McMillian.  They are telling me 3+ months to receive the new stock, so in the mean time I filled in the hollow SPS butt-stock with a roll of lead and spray foam.  Balances nicely now.   
Nothing witty here.... move along.

A friend of mine bought a 7mm rum in bdl and I bought one in the sps. Same barrel 26 inch, differences are trigger, stock obviously, and finish all the sps's I have seen are matte black. The stock on the sps sucks it sits tight against the barrel if you tried to float the barrel the stock would just crack, it can't hold without the support on the for end from the barrel.
I figured with the money I saved on the sps vs Bdl I could buy a good stock and trigger and have a more personalized M700 for about the same price.

By the way my friend and I use the same load/bullet combo and both guns perform very close in group size. Even with the crap stock on the sps.

I bought one of the "SPS" gun in 7mm08 and have been very pleased.  Drawbacks are no drop magazine and does not have the "new" adjustable remington trigger.  Advantages, about $250 cheaper.  I've found the same as you, shoots just fine, yes stock feels cheap, but it's a workhorse gun and I've even developed a love for my old boat paddle stocked synthetic Ruger, so if I can love that stock, there's not much I can't love in a stock!


I'm not sure what you mean by drop magazine mine has a hinged drop plate just like the Bdl  :dunno:   

I installed a Timney trigger in mine set at 2.5 lbs its great. Only one problem, I want one in every gun I have now.  :chuckle:

THAT is what makes the 700's, the ability to find so many differant sights, triggers, bases, barrels, stocks, BOTTOM METAL!, etc.

Its the Chevy 350 of the rifle world.

Maybe its not the best out there, but it sure makes it a lot easier to design/build/add-to, whatever it takes to get the end product of what you want.

The SPS is a perfect buy, if you just don't see what you want in the "Rifle-World". Then as time goes, and money is available, build it to what YOU want.

I've a couple with detachable mag systems now that  I just love. Excellent triggers, top of the line bases/rings, very good/the best stocks...sure, its taken me some time, but-what the hay? So does switching/trading rifles off and buying others, none being "exactly" what I truly want.


Does this "jibberish" make sense?

Good Luck guys!
