[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 870932, member: 12995"] I will agree about the crappy Hogue stock...And yes, to some that might be a deal-breaker, but as I don't see it as such, because I see that stock as ebay or classifieds material, before the gun ever gets shot. LOL The X-Mark triggers suck, too. For $50 you can buy an older style trigger and with the help of a YouTube video, a hammer, and a punch, you should be able to swap it out yourself in a matter of 15-20 mins. My appologies as coming off as a little biased, I do note the differences, however, for the cheaper 700's I either see them as just an action and bottom metal to build off of, or a barreled-action with bottom metal to do a semi-custom build. I have shot a few SPS Tac's that still had the Hogue stock and they were shooting ¾ MOA and under. Honestly, for a $400 rifle, I was pretty impressed. I went to Mark's Outdoors up in Birmingham, when they had them on sale for $399, and I was gonna buy 2 of them (wish I had atleast bought one now), but instead walked out with a new 700 5R MilSpec 24" .308 10th Anniversary edition. I'm glad I bought the 5R over the SPS Tac, but now I wish I had bought both, so I would have had a cheap action to build a bolt-action 6.5 Grendel, or 6.5 SS (Sherman Short). [/QUOTE]
