well after a month of going back and forth between the 700p and the sps t im going with the 26" barrel but i got to thinking why pay 900 for the 700p when i can pay 600 for a sps varmint, im going to change out the stock anyways. from what ive read they are the same exact barrreled action. im looking for anyone that has done this and what kind of change did you have? I seen the sniper central review, thanks guys

LOL.
Its the exact same rifle. The P makes it look different in size, but I guarantee its the same.

That is funny as crap....varmint is thinner....where do people come up with this stuff??....Yes, they are the exact same rifle, I think the P has a different finish, but same everything else, oh and of course the stock.

I just ordered a sps Tactical and a McMillan A1-3. The second it gets here it's going in the McMillan.

Here's what one looks like in a B&C A-5 Medalist. (SPS-V 300WSM) I'm actually thinking about selling this if you are interested.

Re: Remington 700sps varmint stock swap
Are you thinking about selling the rifle or just the stock? I've been debating on getting that stock for my 700LTR.

Re: Remington 700sps varmint stock swap
Here's a pic of my SPS Varmint in a HS stock. 1100 rounds through the rifle with 100 through it in this stock and my only complaint is the crappy finish on the rifle.

Re: Remington 700sps varmint stock swap
I have had a sps varmint and a sps tactical, swapped out for a few stocks over the years if you are on a budget pick up a used HS stock or a new bell and carlson. Barreled action is the same on the sps varmint except with a cheaper finish but with decent care it is fine. Now if you got the cash a A1 or A1-3 is the way to go

Re: Remington 700sps varmint stock swap
well hey i appreciate all the help guys but i went to dicks tonight and held a sps varmint and screw that, even without a scope that thing would make walking through the woods a job, im going back to the original plan of the sps t lol. sry guys i know i asked for help and you did but way to heavy for a deer gun. A bunch of people said it would be but i was like "shit im 6'1 200lbs i can carry anything through the woods" well scratch that, unless i move to africa and have one of those little trackers that will carry it for me im not buying that thing, BUT i will buy one later down the road for strictly a target rifle, thanks guys

Re: Remington 700sps varmint stock swap
Rackchaser, weight is the problem with my SPS. It's about 14lbs as you see it in the pic I posted above. I'm 6'03" and 250lbs and I don't want to carry that thing very far.

I was thinking about the whole thing. It shoots great, but I'm thinking about selling it and putting it towards better optic's.
Thanks though for asking,

Re: Remington 700sps varmint stock swap
If the barrel is too long, just cut it off to around 20"s, then you have what you wanted. Thats what happened to mine, balances great, shoots good, and only lost about 75fps.

Re: Remington 700sps varmint stock swap
I just pickup up the SPS 20" and threw a Mcmillan A4 on it. I love it. I went from an AICS to MCM and will never look back.
