[Silverado]

Are all the action and trigger group parts the same between the 2?

I don't see any differences.

The newest model sps does come with a jeweled bolt I saw a few today and that is what the dealer told me. New stock and jeweled bolt just as in the pic of Supercub. Anything else is older inventory.

The stock in the pics I posted is an aftermarket McMillan.

I was just told by a fellow that all 700s now come with plastic floorplates and trigger guards.Has anyone bought a 700 recently?Is the floorplate and trigger assembly plastic,or is it still aluminum?

Oh No, PLASTIC Welcome to the new millenium

......The SPS i own and posted a pic of here in this thread, has an aluminum trigger guard and floor plate.

the half dozen or so SPS we got in the shop are all aluminum (SPS, SPS DM, SPS SS, SPS SS DM)

The CDL is a nice-lookin' rifle. I love the 100th anniversay one.

sorry to get off topic, but you 700 guys with scopes; do you find it hard to insert rounds into the mag without a detatchable one? Does the scope make it hard to get in there?

The scope gets in the way a bit but it is by no means difficult - takes me an extra split second.

my big question is

which one is more accurate? everything else is just icing on the cake.

Can you get an SPS s/s in 223? My WS catalogue from last year says yes for the blued but no for the s/s

 

[todbartell]

yes, you can get a SPS stainless in 223 (also 204 ruger & 22-250 in the same class)

Is accuracy comparable to that of T3s or Savages ? Any parts that should be upgraded ? Trigger, stock, etc ? Havent handled one but looks like what I might need...

New trigger, new bedded stock, new barrel, scope and mounts. Hmmm, whats left?? It does have a good recoil pad

A friend brought over a stainless SPS the other day. I was fairly impressed with the rifle for the price. I realy do like that stock, trim in the forend and very functional.

you can customize as much as you want, but its not *needed*. a SPS out of the box should shoot 1-1.5" 3 shot groups with factory ammo that it likes. Handloading should enable you to reduce group size up to 50%

bedding and trigger adjustments never hurt, on any gun

i started to stray off from the synthetics (though i do find them handsome) and into woods, but can't decide which wood looks the best.
