Remington SPS Tactical vs Remington AAC?

goldeneagle76
Is the only difference the threaded barrel on the AAC? Just wondering if there are other differences making up the $100 price difference.

    Pretty sure the stock is a hell of a lot better than a standard SPS. I've sold more SPS's than I would care to admit and about half of them the barrel was trouching the cheap plastic stock. The rest, you could use your index finger on one side of the tip of the stock, and your thumb opposite it on the barrel and with nearly no effort make them slap together. Never convince me that under recoil that would not present an issue! The stock on the AAC actually looks to be made from something other than cheapo plastic to be sure!

    goldeneagle76,

    Yes, the threaded muzzle AND the thread protector which is shipped already in place on the muzzle. The thread protector is a steel sleeve with internal threads to prevent damage to the threaded muzzle when you're not using a suppressor or other 5/8-24 attachment.

    The barrels are the same, the triggers are the same and the stocks too, are the same, unfortunately. The Hogue Overmold is a sad excuse for a viable stock and it only present because of some stupid price point that Remington bean counters insist on making. I have always suggested buying either then selling the stock to get some extra cash to replace it with a proper stock for field accuracy. Or consider getting a varmint model and replace that stock. Look at some alternatives.

    Best.

    I am basically looking to build up the rifle I buy. I have heard good things about the SPS-tactical's accuracy. So I would be taking out the barreled action and putting it on a Bell & Carlson Tactical Medalist A5 Fully Adjustable stock. Then adding a Wyatt detachable mag set-up...then trigger...you know the drill. But I was planning on ditching the stock no matter what. Just wanted to see if (other than the threaded barrel) there was much difference between the models. Thanks!

    goldeneagle76,

    Good advance planning! You'll like the B&C A5

    I realize that it can get to be an issue of price but the Wyatt DBM can be a little 'rattly'.

    The Remington trigger CAN be made to be a good trigger with some effort and patience. We tune probably 500 a year for the tactical guys, both professional and non-professional.

    I'm all about soaking in info so my ears/eyes are open. I had said the Wyatt DBM just because I saw it will go into the B & C stock with no fitting. Can you recommend another that is close to the same price range but better?
