rainierrifleco Campfire Tracker R Joined: Jan 2012 Posts: 6,780 SE Neb	Of having over 20 dedicated varmint rifles....the one I really like using is the rem 700 tactical....it's not stock by any means...trigger bolt knob firing pin and hs stock....the platform just works, the right weight and balance and really shoots just about any load I feed it.. Still my favorite would be the l461 sako but I don't have one in 223..

DaddyRat Campfire Regular D Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 2,499 Weaverville NC	Originally Posted by drover 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#. drover I second this. Not pretty, kinda heavy, but accurate. I was able to adjust the trigger in mine instead of changing it out. My scope is a 4-12 Nikon Monarch. Quickly becoming a favorite gun.

A Winchester Heavy Varmint, a Remington 700 Varmint Synthetic, and a Howa heavy stainless. The Winchester was my favorite and then I bought the Howa for my son and I prefer that now. whelennut
