I bought a new Rem 700 SPS in 223 for $500 a few months ago, did nothing but tighten the action screws, install a scope, used one of my favorite handloads and immediately began to shoot 3/4" five shot groups. I spent another $100 and put a Timney trigger in it and with the better trigger it now groups d5 shots into a 1/2" more often than not.
It definitely fits heavy catagorey, I haven't weighed it but with a 6-24 Weaver on it I am guessing around 10.5#.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
