[QUOTE="Kiowa Cowboy, post: 3022038, member: 127211"] I purchased the exact same rifle in 30.06 back in the fall. Mine has the 5R barrel but does not have the Timney trigger. Mine has the externally adjustable X-mark trigger. Another member suggested a trigger spring from Ernie the Gun Smith. I installed the trigger and it is a massive improvement. After the trigger spring installation it initially, had just a tiny bit of creep. But the creep has disappeared. It now has a clean crisp break. I do not have a trigger scale, but I would guestimate it is now a 3 to 3.5lb trigger. It will work great for my purposes which is primarily hunting. At some point, I plan on replacing the stock. As far as ammo, mine shoots the Hornady Whitetail and Eldx very well. Here is a link to my targets: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/help-talk-me-down-remington-700-sps-stainless-bolt-action-centerfire-rifle-30-06.341384/post-2964714[/URL] For the price, so far I am very pleased. As you shoot it more let us know what you think. [/QUOTE]
