Hmmmmmmm, 700 in 710's clothing..... Where's Ike. Could this be another fence post?

I saw the same rifle on Gunbroker the other day. I wonder how well the .375 Ruger would do if these were readily available here for $600.

I'll bet it even has the high tech(?) plastic sites.......what next?...

Good luck in buying one....."Out of Stock."

That's what it shows now. When I started the thread, it was "In stock."

Makes me wonder why one of our suppliers can't contract for a special run of rifles with a manufacturer? They had 500 built, and they are gone in a week!

How long would it take to sell 500 new rifles in 375 H&H, in Canada, for way less than the price of a used one?

No kiddin', the lenghts Remington will go to flog junk. 500 made they say?....good 'cause even 50 would be too many.

If that rifle was widely & readily available at that price, it would sell in spades.

Not sure why it already hasn't been added to the SPS line, but Remington would have to keep the brass coming as well.

What is wrong with the 700 SPS? I don't own one, and have never shot one, so am totally in the dark.

Do they really have plastic sights?

If Yugo built rifles rather than cars this is what they would market.

Spray-on finishes with rough metal work mounted in a stock that makes a Ram-line look good. Remington has managed to cut every corner they could to produce a McRifle that relies heavily on the reputation of the "old" model 700.

Nothing wrong with the SPS. The finish is not as nice as on the BDL or CDL, but everything else is the same. They come with a decent pad or if you wish are a good platform for a stock upgrade. My SPS 270Win is one of my most consistent rifles. People want a cheeeper rifle, but when they get one and don't find the finish and quality the same as the higher price model, they act surprised.

I think the SPS is a Tupperware stock. My son bought a Remington 700 SPS and found the stock was to short. The LOP is the same as a wooden stock with the butt plate. We went to a gun show and bought a wooden stock and had a gunsmith install it. The trigger was also crap. He had it replaced with a Shilen trigger.
I think a heavy caliber in this model would have a brutal recoil.

You get what you pay for.But I can see them being a good loaner,truck gun or rainy day.Save your nice wooden stocks for show, DAN>>>

Funny you mention that. At the range today, a guy was complaining to me about his SPS. Stock, finish rusting, trigger, etc. Then he says 'I'd have paid more for a nicer rifle............etc.' I'm thinking 'But, you didn't, you bought the cheapest one Remington offered'. I suggested that Remington offers other models with a higher level of fit and finish, and then picked up my CDL......

Sometimes you get what you pay for.

So I wonder when the better quality, and cheaper priced Norinco version comes out?

Bingo! I think they are quite a good value, not only for an entry level rifle but as a general rifle. I don't find the matte bluing to be any less durable than a rust blue, and why are people so cranky about their stocks? If you want, I'm sure the store will let you check different stocks on them looking for the best grain...
