RE: Remington v.s. Winchester
The only winchesters I like nowdays are just a plain jane 70 and the 70 stealth in .308
Remington screwed up by making the SPSand XCR rifles.
The XCR is the same thing as the M700 BDL SS RMEF but with a hinged floor plate an the SPS is the same as a M700 ADL synthetic but with a hinged floor plate.

RE: Remington v.s. Winchester
I just bought a new sps in 22/250 a few weeks ago,had to send it back because you couldn'r get it to chamber a bullet but they polished the chamber and put a new bolt in it and I like it so far.It isn't a tack driver so far but I think I could hit a ground hog with it @maybe 300 yds.
I like it with the new stock,floor plate,no sights and even sort of like the finish a little.
It will never be a bench rest rifle but it will do for a walk around varmit and plinking rifle.

Good luck trying to hit a ground hog @ 300 yrds. Let us know if you make that shot.

RE: Remington v.s. Winchester
Have allready shot a few groups less than 2 inches with the rifle @300,haven't found the magic load yet ,but think I will get there,seems like the rifle is capable so far.I am working solely on a 55 gr bullet so far.May have to bed it ,its too new to tell yet.
If your favorite rife is the 22/250 you should be able to hit a ground hog with it at 300 yds too.
