[QUOTE="JaoeyP, post: 1447323, member: 103061"] I think the fit and finish on Remington's SPS models is pretty bad. The matte black coating is very coarse (making for a not so smooth new action) amd is an absolute rust magnet. I bought an AAC model in December. I had to tap the scope mount holes because it had too much of the matte crap in there. Gun shoots and functions flawlessly. Sub MOA with 168gr SMKs and 42gr RL-15 (a fairly universal recipe). I think a lot of the quality complaints come from experiences with the SPS products and I feel like a lot of that would go away if they just used a better finish. It makes those rifles look and feel cheap. Also, some of the quality complaints may be from bench rest shooters who want to shoot .1 MOA groups and have to do too much work to a Remington to do so. I think a factory action with a quality barrel will easily shoot .5-.75 MOA with load development. I have handled several 5R Remington's and wouldn't hesitate to buy one. Very nice finish and I have yet to hear from an actusa owner that they don't shoot. [/QUOTE]
