Looking at getting a "tactical bolt-action"...for my purposes it'll basically be used to punch paper and blow up water bottles at 100-400 yards, hopefully will avoid any two-legged targets. My preference is for a .308 weapon.
After reading the thread about the .223 Rem 700 SPS Varmint I started looking at that rifle, and also saw that there is also 700 SPS Tactical. Biggest difference between the two I saw is the Tactical has a 20" tube, whereas the SPS Varmint has a 26" barrel. Both seem to be pretty affordable, under $700 MSRP.
Anybody care to offer pros/cons to one rifle and barrel length vs. the other?
