Here's my thoughts on this rifle. The old ones are better than the new ones. I had a heavy barrel .308. in a synthetic stock. Very heavy but very accurate. Took it stalking once ( only once 😒 ). Then I got a new sps in 7-08. Out of the box it was total pants. It would not eject cases it took 3 ejectors before it worked. The trigger was rubbish replaced it with a Timmney. The stock was cheap and nasty, put a Bell and Carlson block bedded on. The point is if I got another one before I took out of the shop I'd strip it down and only take the action. A good rifle spoilt by accountants
