Why should I buy the Remington 700 SPS Varmint over the regular SPS?
700 SPS – both are short action receiver – both are ADL models w/ hinged floor plate magazine – both are synthetic stock – neither are glass bedded or have pillars – both have sling swivel studs – both are drilled and tapped for a scope mount – neither are free-floating barrels ~both touch a little at the receiver and both touch at the very end of the stock SPS – stated as all external metal is deep blued – has a traditional barrel which heats up much faster ~ this means accuracy on each additional follow up shot exponentially decreases Varmint – has a parkerized finish – “Varmint” style stock ~ allows airflow for increased barrel cooling – heavy “bull” barrel ~ requires more shots for heating to effect accuracy – also it can allow for a “hotter” load to be used than in a traditional barrel – has an additional sling stud for the mounting of a bi-pod without interfering with the adding of a sling also I hope this information helps you in your decision.
