The SPS's are not entirely accurate machines. The accuracy your experiancing is pretty much nominal for that model.
You will hear of the guy with the SPS that will 'sub-MOA, MOA at 1000y and the such...take it all with a grain of salt.

Hmmm... Well,
This is my 700 SPS:
And this is what I now consider a couple of just "okay" 100 yd. groups with my SPS:
This is my range report for my 700SPS from last January (same pics):

I bought my 700 SPS because of numerous reports of accuracy from fellow shooters, never mind these quotes from snipercentral when they reviewed an SPS tactical and said, "So, this particular rifle, even with the front of the rubber stock touching the barrel slightly, is clearly sub .5 MOA rifle out of the box." And when they reviewed the 700 SPS Varmint they reported, "Out of the box, this Remington is a sub .75 MOA rifle, and if you remove shooter error, I'm sure the rifle is probably a bit better than that."
For me, finding the right ammo was a key step. But also, once you've rechecked your mounts, etc., I'd suggest picking up a snap cap like these,

You have a good gun. Even with the light barrel, I'd be surprised if it didn't have MOA built into it.
