Lost and confused....
So, I almost bought a Remington SPS in .308. Almost...been eyeing the SPS Tactical model with the 20" barrel.
Does anyone have an SPS Tactical? And would anyone recommend for or against it? Any strong recommendation against the 20" barrel versus the 26" for distance shots (ie: 500 or so yards)?
I'm basically looking for an entry .308 tactical rifle, the 20" seems more practical in that you get the heavy barrel, but not the near 55" long rifle that the standard SPS has with it's 26" barrel. And I chose Remington just because they seem to be a long time standard of decent/affordable rifles with a lot of mods available in the aftermarket. I've never owned a rifle other than my AR's, a Mini 14, and as of this afternoon finally an AK (thanks Louque's Firearms!). So a bolt gun is new to me....just looking to get into some longer range shooting for less than $1,000. Preferably less than $750.
Any help in the right direction is much appreciated.
