Just did the paperwork on my SPS Tactical in 308 yesterday. Now I need to start looking for a replacement stock. I am just looking for the cheapest good free float I can get. I keep reading about 700P take offs. Anyone got one to sell or know of any? I've been looking around a little bit and haven't seen anything. Any ideas or where is the cheapest I can get something new. Is there anything else I need to know or should it be a direct swap? I don't need to worry about changing bottom metal or anything do I? Don't really know anything about that. Thanks.

Re: Replacement stock for SPS Tactical
I have a 700P take off I'd take $250 shipped for... and a XCR take off w/ CDI DBM and a 5rd AICS mag that I'd take $550 shipped for

B&C medalists can be had new for around $200. Accept factory bottom metal, have an aluminium bedding block negating need for bedding job or pillars though there may be something to gain by bedding them.

Re: Replacement stock for SPS Tactical
+1 on B&C. Check out Stockystocks.com. Bedded it and it made a huge difference. I guess it all depends and what kind of shooting you are going to be doing. Here's what my SPS tac turned out to be.

Re: Replacement stock for SPS Tactical
I'll just be bench rest shooting 99% of the time. Maybe some prone. So are you guys saying the B&C stocks are better than a 700P HS stock or just cheaper? Which medalist you guys like better?

Re: Replacement stock for SPS Tactical
I'd shoot it first & get proficient before you start pulling stuff off.
Worry about the upgrades & "better pieces" later, & concentrate on range time.
That will let you figure out what you don't like & go from there.

I'd also recommend a Bell and Carlson, they can be had for a little over $200 new. I will be getting one with my tax refund. I'm having a hard time choosing the model though.
Anyways I would shoot it a bit like others said, the Houge stock will work. Most people that I've seen post on here only get a little bit better groups by upgrading the stock. I'm sure some to decently better and more consistent. I haven't had a problem getting around 1MOA as I continue to use my Houge stock.
I'll be upgrading mainly because I just don't find it comfortable.

Yeah just the little bit of fondling I did while I was doing the paper work I already hate it. The rubber is way too sticky.
