How accurate is it now? Have you shot it? What's your minimum accuracy requirement?
I would shoot and see how it goes before you start dumping money into a rifle. Often it's not the accuracy but other factors that dictate whether or not a rifle is "customized"

Heres my new sps varmint in 308
It was shooting around .8 moa.
I added this stock
http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/?productNumber=293581
Now it shoots around .5 moa.
I bet a trigger would help it alittle but I dont mind the x mark trigger.
If I were you I would just change the stock.
A Bell and Carlson, McMillan, Manners, Hs Precision, or choate would work fine. Anything that has more forend stiffness and aluminum bedding block.

+1 for upgrading the stock. Get a decent stock with an aluminum bedding block, skim bed it, put some optics on it and shoot it.
The xmark pro trigger's not my favorite, but it's not bad either, I wouldn't change it right off the bat unless you're picky about those things.

I like the ss. It is very clear for the price, and it doesn't have any problems holding zero.

Below is my SPS-T.
- I replaced the Hogue stock with a Bell and Carlson Light Tactical
- I bedded the action with Devcon
- I opened up the X-Mark Pro trigger screw, and polished the sear. (2.3 lb pull)
- I lapped the lugs per this procedure
- Lastly, I tuned a hand-load with 175g SMKs and 44.5g of Varget per this experience
Below is my last round of testing which includes final seating depth adjustments. It turns out that these little Remingtons can shoot!

Nice shooting. I havent experimented with handloads yet. All the groups I posted were with cheap federal ammo, but I dont doubt it can shoot better with a load like yours.
