I planned on a Remington 700 SPS Varmint, then saw Cabela’s has “exclusive” versions in stainless for $60 more. Is this the real deal? As in, would this be the same heavy barrel and receiver you’d expect on the other varmint guns, 700P, LTRs, etc? If so, then would it also be on a stainless receiver like the Milspec 5R?

I don’t know if the barrel is a special run that Remington has done for Cabelas, but I can offer you feedback on the one I got from Dick’s. Even with the factory stock, using Remington 150gr Core Lokt ammo, I was able to get .69moa on the first day out with it.

Whatta group! Is that with a stainless barrel? If so, do you have any pics? Price?

Much 'preciated…

Mine is the matte finished carbon steel barrel. No pics of the target. I do have a recent thread where I have a pic of the rifle. I imagine that once I get some better glass for it, and find this rifles pet load, I will be able to tighten that group a little bit more.
