[QUOTE="DogDown1994, post: 1075056, member: 88376"] My sps varmint 308 was an amazing shooter. Actually was my first long range rifle I built when I was 18. I think you were wise to buy that stock for it and although I only have 1 Boyd's stock, it is brilliantly made and affordable. I used the $100 timney trigger for mine, set it at 2.2lbs and it shot lights out. Usually about 1/2 moa to 300 then spread to 3/4-1 moa out to 600. Never did much farther with the 168 due to low bc. For 1000 yards it shot about 1 moa with 175 smks. Be prepared to load anything over 168gr pretty hot because it is difficult to get good stability to a bullet that heavy in the 1-12 twist unless at optimum velocities. Luckily, you have a 26 inch tube. My sps accuracy would dwindle however, when the barrel got too much grit in it. Usually had to clean after about 25 rounds to keep accuracy tame. I think you made a good purchase and your old man will be pleased with that rig. [/QUOTE]
