    Re: A word about GA Precision's service..... One of the reasons I liked this forum was that it was non-hostile (unlike AR15.com) I guess we are changing the environment for the worst

    SPS .308 or SPS Tactical .308 - Which one?

    Re: SPS .308 or SPS Tactical .308 - Which one? Hi Mate.. I had the same choices about 2 Months ago. I choose the SPS Tactical because of the positive reviews it got (not withstanding the stock). 1. Free float barrel 2. Sub MOA out of the box. Good Luck!!!!
