RE: Remington mod 700
Out of the four you have mentioned I would take the 700 SPS in a moments notice. Mossberg,710 and the super shadow(CRPF) are tomato stakes in comparison. Take a look at a Ruger 77 , HOwa rifle ,Weatherby vanguard and a Tikka t3 before you do anything . Good Luck in your decision.

RE: Remington mod 700
Remington has been getting a lot of poor press lately.....but they have always been good guns.....of the ones I've owned....I'd be tempted to stick with them
Next IMO would be Howa......
The Mossberg might be a sleeper.....I've not owned one nor have I heard a peep about them.....they certainly can't be worse than the S........you know.....

I have a rem 700 in 7mm mag and it is a great gun. I own a lot of Remington rifles and they have all been reasonably priced quality guns. The only mossbergs I have experience with were shot guns and they were the BIGGEST PIECES OF CRAP I have ever owned. They should call that company Jammberg. My dad owns a Weatherby Vanguard in 300 win mag and it shoots great and is reliable.

RE: Remington mod 700
I have a Model 700 ADL in 243 and it prints .8 inch 5 shot groups at 100 yards. I also have a Model 700 Stainless SPS in .300 WSW and it also groups very well. I looked at both the SPS Stainless and Weatherby Vangard Stainless. I don't think you can go wrong with either, but I stayed with the Remington 700.
I have two Mossberg shotguns and they perform flawlessly. I don't think about rifles when I hear Mossberg.
