[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 516777, member: 6452"] If you have access to simple hand tools you can easily adjust the trigger and glass bed the rifle yourself. Nice to know how to work on your own equipment too. I too have a 700 SPS in .308 standard barrel though and it's been loads of fun. Don't know if the SPS-Varmit stock is better than the garbage plastic that comes on the standard SPS. You'll most likely want to upgrade it soon but it makes a great stock to practice glass bedding, etc. with. I think .308 is a great gun to learn with. Lots of access to bullets and info for those bullets, not hard to shoot recoil wise and fairly inexpensive compared to the larger cases. Does not fare as well in the wind but when you're learning I think that makes it a good learning tool and you'll be a better shooter in the end because of it. Also you should be able to take most game in North America to respectable ranges 400-600 yards and can easily punch paper further out. [/QUOTE]
