    Stock for SPS

    I made a brief search for stocks for S/A Remington stocks here and found an HS Precision stock. It is inletted for a heavy varmint contour barrel. My remington is the SPS Varmint. Is that barrel a heavy varmint contour? Will my rifle probably fit that stock? Jim

    SPS Tac?

    Local shop has a Rem 700 .308 in. When I looked closer it was indeed the heavy 20in barrel but the stock looked kinda like the ones on the LTD, I think... Black with those odd inserts. This is definitely not like the other sps tacs I've seen. Anyone have info? And they were asking $699...

    SPS Tactical

    Is Remington discontinuing the SPS tactical? I asked my dealer to order me one and his distributer told him they are discontinued. As poplular as they are right now, I would be surprized if this were true!
