[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 931008, member: 35183"] Get rid if the junk factory barrel. The SPS is the cheapest Rem 700 out there and Remington barrels are amongst the worst. Call Jim Briggs at Northland Shooters Supply and see if he has a CBI prefit barrel in stock that installs with a barrel nut like on a Savage. If he has what you want you will save about $500 compared to a gunsmith job and possibly 6-9 months of time too. How is the trigger ? Usually the triggers are about 8+ lb from the factory and the new ones are made so that they cannot be adjusted lighter. Usually it is cheaper to get a Shilen trigger for $100 than any of the other options including a trigger job by a competent smith. I have owned 2 Remingtons. On 1 the barrel was fine (223 1:12) and on the other (classic in 8x57) the barrel and trigger were awful. [/QUOTE]
