[QUOTE="trebark, post: 396362, member: 19172"] Have you tried shooting your rifle at that range? I had an SPS Varmint in 308 that shot sub-MOA with the factory barrel and stock. Most gunsmiths will not bed the stock on your SPS. Bedding materials don't stick to it very well. Also, it's not a very good stock (many would says it's a piece of junk and I would generally agree). My recommendation would be to buy another stock. There are many to choose from.... Other things to consider doing with your rifle that would help with long range accuracy would be to tune the trigger and recrown the barrel. I've done this more than once....
