I'm looking at two different rifles, both Remingtons. The VS is a 14 year old model, comes with HS stock, 26 in barrel, 1:12 and is probably going to go for $800-$850. The PSP is just the plain jane stock Remmy, 24 in barrel, 1:12 and will probably go for $600-$650. Ultimately my end goal is to finally have a custom rifle built with the action trued, new barrel and new stock. The VS already comes with an HS precision stock which I kind of like and the PSP comes with the standard shitty stock. I had an AAC-SD which had no problems whatsoever but I also read conflicting reviews about the QC of Remington. My question is would the Remington made 14 years ago be better made than the Remington PSP made today? I know a quality smith could fix several issues if there ever were any but then there are some that just have to be taken care of by the factory. If I plan on re-barreling both rifles (whichever one I buy) should I spend less for the SPS or spend more for the VS?
Remington VS or SPS
- Thread starter Ultraman550
- Start date
Ive had them all. Buy the SPS-V and a B&C M40 stock. Same price as the VS and MUCH better stock. Im NOT a fan of HS stocks anymore. Palm swell is way too big for me.
Just because the VS is an model that Rem has had for 14 years dont mean you buy a new 14 year old rifle. If you want new everything the just buy an action or see if your smith has one in stock.
Hey cypriss32, thanks for the info. I forgot to mention that shooting will be done prone so no offhand shooting. Would you say this would still be a determining factor? I'm a lefty so finding stocks is a PITA for me.
