I think you are asking about the SPR 18, If so its built by Baikal in Russia.
Theres been a few threads about them and feelings are mixed on the quality and the main complaint of there scope mounting rail. I have seen them in , 223 Rem., 243 Win. 270 Win. 7.62 X 39, 308 Win. and 30-06. Out of the US they were available in 222 and 7.62 X 54 R and maybe some others.
All of the SPR rifles that Remington put there name on had Walnut or plastic stocks, others had stained hardwood. I have one in 308 Win. and like it alot.
Mine is lightweight 23 1/2" hammer forged barrel with a hard chrome bore and very light contour. I have taken the rear buttstock off and checked it out to see if it was rough, had burrs on parts or could be smoothed up any. I was impressed, mine had no burrs, metal chips or sloppy work as some have said they had in there rifles.
The lockup is very nice, action is a little stiff opening / closing but that should improved the more its used. The trigger is just OK , it is a little heavy and has some creep but I seem to shoot it OK as I can shoot MOA groops with it.
Scope mounting is a little different than most rifles. They dont use a Weaver type base instead they have a 11 mm dovetail something similar to a 3/8" dovetail base as you see on 22 RF rifles. There are different rings available and 1 piece mounts with rings cast as one piece available. The hammerless design is nice unless you prefer a hammer to cock. They have a crossbolt safety similar to most shotguns and also have a safety mechanism built into the trigger/ sear that will not discharge the rifle without pulling the trigger.
My advise would be if I was buying a used gun of this model , I would want to have it in my hands to look over good and look / see if theres anything visually wrong. But as said I like mine alot, I am sort of a single shot collector and have rifles with about every type action ever devised and I would rate mine up near the top .
