I've got a general question about the 700 SPS Varmint rifle (and most other "varmint" rifles)......Since when did a .308 become a varmint caliber? Ain't it a little big for varmints. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Not if you have BIG varmints. Many are sold to police departments for BIG varmints.
They are also used for "F" class shooting by folks that want an affordable rifle to "try it", before sinking $3k in a custom rig.
And they are used for a basic rifle for beginners trying High Power match shooting.
They have a bona fide place in shooting, and sell like lemon aid in the Sahara.
