[QUOTE="krhuntin, post: 145350, member: 1824"] My dad had one in .308, in which i was the one that always shot it. It was okay. It says it is a 22" barrel, true but there is no rifling in the last 2 inches due to the muzzle brake. Therefore it is a 20" barrel. With the .308 it was a 1:10 twist, however with a barrel as short as it was it needed the 1:10 just to push 178 grain amax through it decently. My SPS .308 has 26" barrel and will push 190 grain better IMO. The muzzle brake did reduce muzzle jump but felt recoil reduction was debatable. Normal X-mark trigger, and simple lug receiver. You can buy a sps at cabelas for 399 right now, get the muzzle threaded for a brake, and add a different stock and still be under 700 if you wanted to customize one for yourself. Just my two cents. My dad ended up trading his off after we put a decent number of rounds through it. But some guns are also lemons, we may have just got one of them. Good luck and let us know what you decide and some feedback. [/QUOTE]
