That one is nice. I like it. What did you do with that pink/purple flamer in 270 win? (you know...your favorite one).  He put a rainbow "Obama 2012" sticker on the stock and keeps the gun displayed in a glass case

I have a 223 that feeds rough but shoots great. My sps ss 7mm RM is a killer with the 150gr ABLR. I also have a sps ss in 243 that shoots great. So, 3 for 3 as far as tight groups. 2 for 3 regarding feeding. All wear B&C Alaskan Ti stocks from stockys.

I think Remington put some extra effort into the barrels on the SPS's. I have one in 308 Win that is lights out accurate with Hornady 150's. I have heard others say the same.

Toad,
I've seen that one pictured before, I really like that .375 Ultra of yours. I wish Remington still chambered their SPS's in the larger calibers.

izzat really 2 words? LOL Perhaps a bit of poetic license, but "rattle can" should qualify. That reminds me, I have a black-blued SPS that needs a touch up.

Always have read that people have a hard time getting them to shoot. Always seconds available at SPS.

300 Ultra bedded and floated in a B&C. Good for 1/2" with 180gr Partitions. What's not to like? ![[Linked Image]](http://s6.postimg.org/aedwtte3h/101_0034.jpg)

I bought one this past spring in 7mm Rem mag and had to take it back. It had a bad chamber right out of the box. The dealer ordered a replacement and it has been a very good rifle. It seems from time to time Remington just sends them out the door as fast as they can build them. I would say over all they are good rifles and they always seem to be tack drivers. I have had several Remington 700's and they all shot very well. As far as price goes I paid $630 new in box. Hope this helps.

I have a couple sps rifles one was a 243 that shot well but had it rebarreled to an 8 twist to shoot 105 Bergers. Prior to the rebarrel it was a solid 1" gun under almost any circumstance but I had it bedded in an hs stock. I have another one in a 300 win mag in an hs stock and it seems good as well.
The only thing I don't like is that I wish the black ones had a jeweled bolt like the stainless ones it makes the bolt smoother. Other than that good guns that seem to shoot well.
