[QUOTE="trebark, post: 681456, member: 19172"] A Rem700 SPS in 300winmag is a great platform to start with. Load it with 208grain Amax or 210grain VLDs and you have an awesome longrange rig. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/annual-hunting-retreat-amax-review-82434/[/url] As for upgrades on your rifle, here are my recommendations: Stock - replace the factory stock as it is a piece of tupperware. McMillan is a great stock. Also look at Manners. Personally, I have two McMillan A3s and a buddy of mine has two Manners T2s. His T2s have the suspension system in them and that is a nice rig. (suspension system is nice if you plan to use detachable mags). If you get a stock that does not have a suspension system in it, be sure to skim coat bed it and also consider pillars. Barrel - have it recrowned. It is common for factory barrels to have a less than perfect crown on them. Trigger - tune the trigger you have or go with a Jewel. Jewels are on my two longrange rigs and I just love them.

My nephew's rifle had that done....
