Well, it's pretty self explanatory. I'm new to long range shooting and am looking bolt action target rifle. I've decided that I'd like to go with a remington 700 action. I understand that the barreled action on the police and and sps-varmit are the same; the Police comes with an HS precision stock right from the factory so I would be good to go straight away with it.
The other option I'm considering is getting the SPS-Varmit, and upon reciept placing an order for a McMillan A3 stock. I would shoot it in the factory stock until the McMillan was ready in 6 months to a year, however long it takes. Then I'd consider having it glass bedded as well. This option, while slightly more expensive might yield a bit more accuracy.
I'm not real concerned about weight, as it'll mostly just be a range toy for load development and long shots. Either way I'll be spending a good bit on glass too, probably going with a variable power scope in the 6-20x range. Any advice appreciated, thanks!
