I have a Remington 700 Milspec (24" barrel) in .308 myself, and it's my absolute favourite rifle. Wonderfully accurate out to 800m with either decent factory ammo or handloads - my skill and the weather make it difficult to claim consistent 1/3 MOA groups at a proper distance, but I can make single hole 5 round groups at 100m all day long, which is something I can't guarantee with any other gun. It does 'jump' a fair bit so it's off to have a brake fitted in a few weeks, and perhaps an aftermarket trigger if my gunsmith can't get the factory X Mark to pull consistently at 1lb. Enjoy your SPS!
