[QUOTE="Kiowa Cowboy, post: 2964714, member: 127211"] [B]Range Report[/B]: I have taken the Rem 700 SPS SS to the range one time. I shot Hornaday 150-grain whitetail and 178-grain ELDX. I will let you draw your own conclusions about the group size. The whitetail was a 3-shot group. The ELDX was a 5 shot group. I used the Whitetail to get sighted in. So far I am very pleased with the accuracy potential. I am surprised at the groups since the stock is not free floated and the trigger is just okay. Mine has the X mark trigger, not the Timney. I have unscrewed the external adjustment screw about as far as I can without taking it out completely. I don't hate the stock, but it is just a plastic stock. It feels just fine. I like the light weight and the recoil is not bad at all. It has a thick recoil pad. I will likely replace it in the future. If any of you have any suggestions for improving the X-mark externally adjustable trigger, let me know. It is not horrible but it does have some creep, and I would gustimate it is still over 3lbs. I put a 3x9 Zeiss Conquest on it for now. It was on a Rem 700 LSS 257 wby. mag that I never shoot. I plan to put a different scope on it eventually. I would like to take it to long ranges. I hope this helps some of you who are wondering about the post-banruptcy Remingtons. This is my second Remington 700 5r barrel and they both shoot great, so far. The other one is a heavy-barrelled 308. [/QUOTE]
