Does Remington make a nice looking sporter 700 in 223 anymore? #8634466 03/01/14 Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,522 Missouri C Coyotejunki OP Campfire Regular OP Coyotejunki Campfire Regular C Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 1,522 Missouri I am thinking walnut stock, and a blued finish. Those have the nice slick feeling when you work the action. Not a big fan of the gravel blasted actions of the SPS setup with the cheap tupperware crappy stock. futuaris nisi irrisus ridebis

I may have to look for a used Classic or BDL futuaris nisi irrisus ridebis

How can they make so much yet make so little?

Blue, walnut. Would expect should be RH also. Should be reasonably accurate. Not sure what twist they come with, tho....
