I do not own a Springfield. I do own Rem 700 and Savage 111 as well as Mossberg 100ATR

I know nothing about the competition rifles either. I am just a guy who hunts and entertains myself by loading my own and shooting at our private range to compete against myself and my last group. With some trigger work and a decent laminated stock, the 100ATR even turned into a rifle capable of respectable groups, around 1MOA and a little under with varmint bullets. It is .243 Win.

Regarding the military rifles mentioned lets not forget that the 700 has served for 40 odd yrs and is still on active duty in both Army and Marines as sniper rifle. Apparently it works pretty good.
