This is my first bolt action rifle and I must say I am very pleased. It was very affordable for those that do not want to break the bank when purchasing a bolt action rifle. Once sighted in I've been shooting groupings of 2 MOA. Definitely going to buy another Remington and will definitely purchase future items from buds!

I purchased this rifle some time ago. It was as expected. It's a factory gun and there is only so much you can expect from it. Since this purchase, this rifle has gone to the custom specialists at GA Precision. It is now a 1/8 MOA tack driver and I could not be happier. I have never had a bad experience with this company. I live in Maryland. One of the most gun restrictive states. Bud's does go out of their way to keep you from making a purchase that goes against the local laws.
In my opinion. If your looking for a starter rifle, this is a good start and a great place to get it.
If you decide to go more precise then please see the people at GA Precision. What they will do with your factory rifle is quite frankly amazing.

Out of the box I was shooting .6 inches at 100 yards. Not everyone gets the same experience but I've had friends get the same gun and have the same success. With handloads the groups tightened up even more to a best group of .36. There are other mods I'm going to do over time, but I don't think accuracy will be an issue. The heavy barrel does make this a heavy carry so don't count on humping this into the woods. You could I guess, but why?

The stock is JUNK, but even despite that - it shot well out of the box. The grippy rubber thing was nice, but it wasn\'t nearly rigid enough. It is NOT the hogue with the aluminum bedding. Better than moa on fancy match rounds using a sandbag close to the reciever. Don\'t bother using a bipod with this stock, too much flex. When I replaced the stock, it was a true half-minute rifle with Federal Gold Match SMK\'s.

Gun shoots awesome! Put a 20moa one piece base on it with a 3-9x42 swfa ss scope. Love the gun. Did have to do so.easy work to make the houge stock free float when using a bipod. It will easily shoot 5 shot groups under an inch at 100 yrds. Thats with cheap remanufactured ammo loaded with 168 grain sierra hpbt bullets. My only issue is the finish on the metal looks rugged, but it\'s not. I use my riflemail for hunting, and have found that the barrel will accumulate surface rust very easily. I have to keep it soaked down with oil just to prevent minor surface rust. I don\'t know if it\'s the humidity here in va or if the finish just sucks.

Stock isn't as bad as everyone says it is. Gun shoots nice. it will shoot dimes at 100 yards with houge stock, replaced it with bell and Carlson m40 and it shoots very very nice now. sometimes gun is a little hoppy but other than that its a good gun.

The rifle arrived in a cardboard box, with a styrofoam insert stabilizing the rifle. Included was the bolt, which was removed, as well as a manual and a cable lock. The 700 SPS is a very sturdy and well made rifle, and it is one of the nicer bolt action rifles I have owned in the past (Savage, Howa, Ruger). However, I believe that the styrofoam insert degraded to the point where it left a fine white dust on all the metal parts, and almost a stain of sorts on the stock that I have yet been unable to remove. It is not a huge concern personally, as the stock will be painted and eventually replaced, but I am curious how it left the manufacturer in that condition. To me, it was not such a severe problem that I would refuse shipment and send it back. However, I can see another person taking that course of action. The rifle itself is terrific, the condition it arrived in left something to be desired.
