Looking for a Rem 700 in 308 just for plinking at the range any maybe some competitions in the future. 200-600 yards , nothing further. Looking for something that is usable as a stock rifle but has an upgrade path for the future. A new trigger, detachable box magazine and an aftermarket stock with a bipod would be on the list of things I would want to do after I get some good glass for it.
This is coming from a person who knows nothing about the specific Rem 700 models. Would I regret buying the 700 SPS? Is the police version really worth $400 more than the SPS for what I want to do?
P.S. I'll need a left hand model so that might limit my choices, but if I ever do compete with it, I think I'll need to be able to work the bolt without breaking position.
