[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1463491, member: 52437"] I have a mountain SS. The only difference between it an a SPS with B&C stock is the barrel. it is pencil thin to save on weight and is fluted. The pencil barrel is nice but mine is not a long range shooter. I get around .75-1MOA with reloads and anywhere from 1-1.5MOA with store bought. I love the rifle for hunting the woods. Anything under 300 yards and you are in business. Very light weight to carry. Honestly, it is what I use most of the time unless I sit on our one field which has a 450 yard shot opportunity and I use my more long range setup. Assuming your buddies rifle shoots well, and does not have a ton of barrel wear/throat burn or tons of shots down the tube, I would have zero reservations picking it up for ~700$. However, my factory trigger SUCKED! Lightest I could get it to was 4.5lbs. It had zero creep though but it was heavy. 125$ drop in Timney trigger fixed that issue. [/QUOTE]
