redmag, I own a Remington SPS in 30-06. I use it for deer hunting. I shoot 165 grain Hornady BTSP in it. I reload it with 54.5 grains of IMR 4350. I like the synthetic stock and the matte finish as hunting in rain or snow doesn't cause problems that wood stocks can have. I recommend this rifle. I also have a 243 in SPS. its a varmit rifle.
