[QUOTE="out front, post: 422634, member: 17246"] The SPS varmint is a good rifle for the money and a great oportunity to begin meddleing in LRH. Stock: If you are trying to keep on the lower price end, look at the Bell and Carlson Medalist stocks. They run roughly 200.00 and have an aluminum bedding block. I had good luck with a VLS (roughly same as SPS but a few more options) bedded into a Medalist. It would be a great step up from the stock SPS hardware and provide a more stable base. Optics: I second the Bushnell elite. I own a 4200 and it has glass that gives my higher priced optics a run for their money. Another one I haven't tried but many rave about is the Super Sniper from SWFA. Trigger: I'm not a huge fan of the new Remmy triggers. I like the larger shoe of the older models and I could tweak them to feel much cleaner. Timney and Rife Basic make decent models that shoot better than the Xmark Pro. This is just my opinion and there are many on this site with a great deal more experience. Try running a search and you'll be surprised at how many started down the same path. [/QUOTE]
