[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 222928, member: 10"] External appearance and finish may be better but internal is not any better then a Rem 700 SPS from what I have seen. I have had three of them in shop to build on. Customers got them because they figured the receivers would be match grade ready...... Could not be farther from the truth. Taking internal measurements on the receiver once the barrel is pulled shows they are no more square then any Rem 700 receiver and barrel thread fit is just as poor as well. Crowns are also seldom better then the stock rifles. What you get is a bit more time put into the finish of the steel and generally an upgrade in wood quality and thats about it from what I can tell. Lets just say it takes me just as much time to get a custom shop Rem 700 ready to build on as it does a $350 Rem 700 SPS and in the end they both shoot the same. Just what I have seen working with them. [/QUOTE]
