[QUOTE="AJ300MAG, post: 7867, member: 444"] Rolltide, I picked up a 700SPR a few weeks ago. Rifle set me back $450.00. Gameplan is to use it as a light rifle for hunting muledeer in CO. First thing I did was to changed the trigger spring to a Holland, left the overtravel and sear engagement screws alone as they were set perfectly.
