+1 for that.
the stock and trigger are complete garbage- look at manners/mcm or the AICS for stocks and then timney for the trigger.
Then invest in some good glass if you haven't already.

Re: Remington 700 SPS custom options
Take a look at mine in the SPS and AI pic threads and let me know if you have any questions.
Definetly stock and trigger like the others said; however, my biggest bang for the buck came from a Hornady digital scale, a RCBS trickler, and a funnel.

Re: Remington 700 SPS custom options
Agree with previous suggestions. I just got a Manners MCS-T3 stock w/ the added pillars(approx. $600) and put in a Timney 510($130). My rifle isn't an SPS Tactical though. Its a Varmint that was cut down to 18.5". Slightly different but same principal. The Hogue rubber stock will work, just not as good. You can always spend the money on ammo and learn the rifle. There isn't anything wrong with working on marksmanship and building as you go. All depending on personal budget. Good luck !

Re: Remington 700 SPS custom options
Throw away the factory Hogue stock as soon as you take the gun out of the box. (ok kidding but as ASAP) The Hogue stock will touch the barrel if you use a bipod or front rest at the front of the stock. It is extremely flexible and will have a negative impact on your shooting. Get the Trigger as soon as you pay off the replacement stock. The factory trigger is not that horrible actually. In fact if you tune the trigger or better yet have a smith tune the trigger it can be made pretty crisp and about 2.5 pounds. The gun itself is a good shooter.
Mine has the factory HS Precision stock I took off my 5R 308, then I got a Jewell trigger for it.

Re: Remington 700 SPS custom options
I just bought an sps tac as well. The hogue stock is good for 3 rd groups but once the barrel heats yur groups will suffer. The trigger isn't bad at all. I lowered mine to about 2.5lbs and probably won't ever change it. In stock form its sub-moa to 600yds. I haven't shot any further yet. Unless you really screw up, you almost can't go wrong with this little 700.

Nope. I think it's mostly preference (style, ergonomics, etc.)

Re: Remington 700 SPS custom options
hey, a lil diff if on a budget find you a hs precision take off of a 5r or ltr, or any other quality stock but the hogue has gotta go, and then you can really make that trigger that is on that gun pretty dang good ( throw away the external adjustmnt screw on the trgger just loosen it til it falls out and chunk over shoulder ) then pull the action out of the stock and using a trigger scale work the frnt screw down til it is breaking at 2 pounds and do your safety chks .. and use extra money to buy ammo.. i have done this to my ltr and 5r rifles and people are often surprised by those trggers and have had 0 prblms.

The HS stock cd9381 is a great way to go. They are significantly less money and provide an aluminum block. The only issue is if you decide to go with a detachable mag system. The dollars start to add up quick and makes you wonder why you did not go with a chassis system from the start.
