Good read ... I recently purchased a 700 SPS.
This is the only bolt action rifle I own. I wanted a dedicated 308 for suppressor use and with subsonic ammo. I didn't want to constantly fiddle with an adjustable gas block, either.
I traded a gen2 Glock 19 and a Smith 642 lightweight for this 700 SPS. But I hated the condom covered stock.
Found a nice Boyd's Walnut stock and custom fit it to the 700. Had to change trigger guards and I lost the floor opening. I was afraid the wooden stock would not hold up over time with a huge chunk cut out of the middle.
Load it from the top and unload it from the top.
The can is a YHM Phantom Ti and topped it off with Leupold VX-R.
It is unbelievably quiet.
