Not as accurate as it should be. It's also very heavy. I was expecting much more from this rifle.

Out of the box very accurate and fun to shoot. I highly recommend.

I bought this quite a while ago, but can say it was everything I expected and showed up quickly. I have been pleased with this purchase through Bud's. Additionally, they were the least expensive of my options.

This Remington 308 sps Varmint is the base for my long range build.
I did a lot of research on this and others 6.5 creedmoor.
The 308 sps 26" is what i went with. Mostly for the available ammo.
And thank you Buds for your layaway program. With 5 kids its hard to put out right 600 bucks.
So buds helps a bunch.

Flawlessly executed shipping and purchasing process, what more could a person want? Awesome rifle.

The product was delivered to me in great shape, even though the delivery company mistakenly sent it across the country. Buds is very professional.

Love it. I spent about $400 on scoping and bipod. So smooth and does everything I ask of it. This is a rifle that is fun and I my experience will not surpass.

As always, Buds service was great. I purchased this gun with the intent of immediately taking off the stock and putting a different one on. I'm glad that was my plan since the stock is 100% plastic...no bedding block, no metal pillars...just plastic. Aside from the stock, it's a 700 with a 26 inch heavy barrel. That in itself is worth the money in my opinion but it's disappointing to see the stock lacks bedding.

I couldn't be happier with my purchase! Great product, great service as well as shipping. I'll do business with Bud's again.

This was my first purchase from Buds and I have since made quit a few more. I bought this rifle back in 2012. Out of the box it shot fair(~1.5moa). I put a HS Precision stock on it and it became a less than 1moa gun. At this price point, I would consider this a very good "starter" gun for long range shooting.

Heavy barrel matched with a remington action, whay more could you want? I've heard remingtons quality has gone downhill. I dont know what guns are being tested but the last 3 from buds have been outstanding. I shot factory adi 168 smk and the groups were outstanding. Put 40 rounds through it amd its right on.

Thie transaction with Buds went very smoothly and quickly. i picked the gun up at my FFL and mounted a Nikon 3x9 x 40 on steel Leuopold rings. I have only tired it so far with 150 fmj ammo to sight it in. So far I am grouping about 1 inch at 100 yds. I expect some good handloads with 168 grain bullets will improve that greatly. The trigger is adjustable but when Adjust it I could not feel a great difference in pull weight. It is crisp with no take up. Overall I am pleased with the rifle and will continue to buy frim buds, I love the selection they have!

I was in search of a rifle for shooting out to 700 yards, and after plenty of research, I concluded that this was the one. First off, this is an extremely accurate rifle. The action is smooth, the trigger is great, and I have had no problem punching .5 MOA groups with Federal Gold Medal Match, 168gr and 175gr. My only complaint is the internal box magazine scratches my brass up. If I single feed, there is no issue. Besides that, it's been an excellent gun.

Excellent store and customer services. I bought the rifle on a Monday and by Friday i had the item shipped to my FFL dealer. Good price, fast shipping and excellent services. 1000% positive.

Best budget rifle for precision shooting--bar none. Bud's service was fantastic and prices can't be beat. Replaced the stock with an HS Precision and topped off with a Nightforce NXS. I have had the rifle over a year and it just keeps getting better. I am now getting just over 1/8" groups at 100 yds with Federal GMM 168 gr. Shoots 175 gr fine but groups better with 168. I consistently keep groups under 1/2" at 200 yds. Just a fantastic foundation to build on. Now that its broke in well, the action is like glass. Don't hesitate. This is a fantastic rifle for the money.

This rifle is EXTREMELY accurate. The day I broke it in , I was hitting pennies set up at 100 yards .

Very happy.... Out of the box the rifle looks great very well made with a 3 1/2 pound trigger pull. And buds is awesome as soon as I made my last payment I was picking it up from my ffl dealer....

My 700 SPS Varmint 308 has been great so far. I'm still shooting regular ammo thru it to break it in. Then I'm going to try Federal's 168gr and 175gr match grade ammo and go from there.

Great rifle. At this price the rifle is a steal. Grab them while you can.

I have had my rifle for over a year now and have had a chance to put it through its paces at the range. Rifle has almost 600 rds through it and I've only had 2 rds that would not let the bolt lock and they were both factory loads. I changed out the factory stock for a b&c light tactical stock and add a Harris bipod, swfa ss 12x42 scope, their 30 mm rings and a weaver tactical base. Recently added a Witt machine muzzle brake and a kinetic research group bolt lift kit. Went to the range 3 weeks ago and using hsm 168gr smk and right to bear ammo 168gr a-max I was able to get both to shoot .330 and .306 groups at 100 yards with wind gusts of 8-12 mph and .890 and .910 at 200 yards with wind gusts of 15-18 mph. This past weekend I was able to shoot roughly the same groupings as before but just slightly bigger. I also took some hand loads with me and using fgmm brass, cci primers, reloader 15 powder and 168gr smk I was shooting .980-1.023 groups at 200 yards with loads using 43.5 grains of powder. The other loads were charged under this and groups weren't as tight. All and all this is a great rifle.for anyone looking for a budget build as you cant do wrong with the rem 700 action and varmint barrel. I plan on going to the range next week with a few more loads to see if I can get this rifle at/under 1/2" moa at 200 yards.

Item just arrived, and I'm very pleased with the gun. No problems with picking it up, and Bud kept me informed on status of the gun during transport. Bud will be my first choice on next gun purchase..

An awesome entry level 308 bolt gun. World famous action. Mine prefers 168 gr bullets. Wonderful value for less than $600.....You can tell Remington saved the money on the stock, but I planned on installing an aftermarket HS Precision stock anyways, so thats what I wanted. The stock X Mark Pro trigger is good. Install an aftermarket trigger and stock and you have an awesome sub MOA tactical rifle package for around $1050.....It can't be beat. Bud's is great. I ordered on a Sunday night and it arrived at my FFL on Tuesday morning (in Ohio) That's about 35 Hours from order to arrival! How is that possible during this nationwide rush for firearms? I couldn't imagine ordering a gun from any other place. BTW, most of the very few bad reviews I've read for Bud's could have been avoided if they had just read Bud's rules and policies.

All I can say is WOW!!!! I bought the gun in .308 Winchester a month ago and shot 50 rounds or so before I started reloading for it. I load 168 grain Sierra and Nosler MATCH HPBT bullets with 44.0 grains of Hodgdon VARGET Powder and Remington Primers and am shooting 1/2 inch groups at 100 yards! Once I get a decent bench rest and get rid of this shaky thing I have I'll be stacking bullets through the same hole! Buy a GREAT Scope for this gun and you will never be disappointed !! BUD'S is the GREATEST!
