[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 1033748, member: 22069"] Where I think the SPS makes the most sense is if you are considering a build of some kind down the road. In that case, you have a solid action as a base and something serviceable to shoot while you save the $ and/or collect your desired parts. If not considering a build, I think the Ruger American deserves a hard look. They come with more up-to-date twist rates and can be had at attractive prices. You could buy one of those and put it in a Boyd's stock for about the same as it would cost you to buy the SPS. I don't think you would have to do anything else to it. I shot an American in .308 awhile back that really impressed me. It shot very accurately even with cheap milsurp ammo. The American can be had in 22-250 with a 10 twist, which can easily handle the 69 grain match bullets. It can also be had in a 9 twist .243 or an 8 twist 6.5 Creedmoor. Those are some pretty tempting options in a budget rifle. [/QUOTE]
