I just checked one at at the local gunshop yesterday.

Fit an Finish didn't stand out, looked like the "cheap" finish they always put on their ADLs and now their SPSs.

The new trigger didn't feel any better than a regular remmy trigger. I did ask the guy behind the counter how easy they were to adjust, and he had no clue.

Then I picked up a Savage model 12 I believe, heavy barrel, blued, 22-250. Seemed to be alot nicer fit an finish and trigger than the Remmy.

Then I picked up a Tikka T3 Varmint in 22-250. By far the sweetest bolt, trigger did need to be turned down, but it was pretty good, not as good as the Savage out of the box tho.

Prices:

Remington 700 SPS Varmint - $550
Savage - $469
Tikka- $699

For the money I think the Savage looked to be the best deal.
