Anyone have any experience with a Remington 700 SPS Tactical 223? Been thinking of getting one just not sure if I should go with a 16" or 20" barrel.

I won't buy Remington shit again for a lot of reasons, and not least of these is that the cheaper you go in the 700 line, the bigger the crapshoot they are. Get a Savage that meets your needs, or a Howa, Ruger, Tikka, CZ, etc. Don't reward the bottom feeders at Remington with perfectly good dollars.ZOMBIE REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! heh -
Length will depend on what you want to do with the rifle."It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

Pretty much my sentiments exactly! I won't buy another Remington. Savage, Tikka, and CZ dominate my rifle rack for bolt actions, but the new Ruger American rifles have caught my attention and I may give one a try soon.Originally posted by YALE View Post"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776Comment

A good friend just picked up a American compact in 6.5 Creedmoor that I'm really interested in trying out.Originally posted by BlackGT View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

That would be one I would be interested in. I've got plenty of .308's and a 7.62x39 for hunting. Would like to try a 6.5 creed as a hunting rifle. Let me know how you like it, once you try it out. My dad has a few of the Americans and he really likes them a lot. I have handled them, but not shot any of them to form a functional opinion yet...Originally posted by dee View Post"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes...Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson, 1776Comment

As soon as he decides on a scope for it and we get some trigger time behind it I'll report back. I read a article that had some good feedback on the Creedmoor version so there is some potential there.Originally posted by BlackGT View Post"It's another burrito, it's a cold Lone Star in my hand!"Comment

I have the SPS Tactical in .308 w/20" barrel and love it. Can shoot all day comfortably and accurately.14 Raptor

Here is a option for a dbm 700 223 with cheap mags.

How about a Howa Hogue Kryptek Package? I know nothing about these rifles but saw one at my local gun shop & it looked really sweet.
Actually this Hogue Heavybarrel Varminter seems a little better so I can mount a better optic.

I like them both. The kryptex gun will be way handier, though.ZOMBIE REAGAN FOR PRESIDENT 2016!!! hehComment

How is the glass that comes on the kryptek? I want a bolt gun in 223 with a bull barrel no more than 20" long. Won't be shooting past 200 yards with it. Just something to use as a bench gun to play around with.Comment
