[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 288159, member: 2736"] I have used a lot of SPS rifles as donor rifles and the actions are fine. The barrels are some times very good and sometimes very bad. So you just have to shoot them to find out. But if you buy an SPS the first thing to do is toss the Tupperware stock, And buy a good laminated or composite stock, One with a large enough fore end to go to a larger custom barrel later if it will not shoot. Do this before you try the rifle out because with the tupperware stock you can't evaluate the barrels potential. With a good stock it will shoot better than with the factory piece of crap. And if it doesent shoot well enough then you haven't lost anything buy buying a good stock. And you can sell the tupperware for 30 or $40.oo (It makes a good youth stock for the first rifle because the kids wont be shooting very far and you don't have to worry about getting a nice stock all scratched up).
