If you're talking about the rifle with the sporter barrel, yeah I have one. I put it in a H.S. Precision stock and changed the trigger to a Rifle Basix. Put a Leupold 4.5-14 on. Then krylon painted the whole thing.
 
Re: Rem SPS 24"243 ss budget upgrade advice please

Yep ,sporter barrel,anyone tried one of these wood stocks with the bedding block?

Outlaw, what kind of acuracy are you getting with that setup?Are you loveing that trigger?

I just put one of the SPS .223 varmints in a McMillan HTG with a PTG DBM and took it out for a quick test today. Second load I tried shot .401 inch, and I am confident that with some trigger work and more load development it will be close to .250.

It is actually an HTG that came off of an FBI M40, and it does not have the adjustable cheek piece. I hope that it shoots like I think it will with the development. The .243 should do good as well.
