The SPS is good, but is not even in the league with the Savage 12 Bench rest. At $1K nothing even remotely in the price range will shoot with the Savage. One of my friends has a Custom Shop Remington that is pretty much a $3.5K version of the SPS and he says at least once every time he is at the range "I wish I had bought a d..n Savage." My $450 Savage tactical outshoots his Custom, but he does not know it has over a grand of custom work done on it. Still, his rifle cost twice as much. My rifle wont shoot with the 12. I was going to buy a 12, but built a Baht. The 12 wont shoot with the Baht custom, but realistically it shouldn't.
