[QUOTE="trebark, post: 806681, member: 19172"] SPS vs. ADL: Perhaps I misspoke when I first posted. I am actually not exactly sure the rifle is an SPS. I can say that it does NOT have the hinged floor plate. Regardless, the rifle selection was based on the fact that it was a Cabela's Special, meaning the rifle was complete with a scope, rings and bases. Essentially all nephew would have to do is bore-site it, load it, site it in, then go kill deer. When the stock was upgraded, it was done with a stock that does not have the floorplate opening. This is an upgrade that could certainly be done at a later date. Because the intended use for this rifle is a carry-rifle, there was no real reason to have a hinged floor plate. When you're looking at aftermarket stocks for Rem700 rifles, you will see that many companies have both an ADL version (no floor plate) and a BDL version (with floor plate). Whether or not people care about the floorplate feature, that is up to you. As far as I'm concerned, when it comes to a hunting carry-rifle, it doesn't really matter to me. As a matter of fact, my personal carry rifle [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-updated-32771/[/URL] does not have a hinged floor plate. By contrast, my tactical competition rifle [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-260-mcr-59628/[/URL] did initially have the hinged floorplate. It was ultimately removed and changed to a detachable box magazine. If you have anymore questions about your build, feel free to PM me. [/QUOTE]
