That bullet will punch through muleys, whitetails, and antelopes shoulders, no problems. I use the 115g btip out of a 25-06 on muleys and I am a shoulder shooter, it breaks both shoulders, completely destroying the lungs and leaves 1-2" exit holes. I have never had a 115g btip not exit, put it that way. I was always dissappointed to see a exit hole because that meant I could not find my dang bullet! Now I know thats what I want, the 115g btip is a pretty stout deer bullet with a good BC. However, since its bonded, the 110g AB will penetrate farther therefor I would never worry about not having an exit.

I have never seen a 700 that didn't shoot MOA or better with the right load. You will need to have the trigger adjusted down to about 2.5-2.75 lbs. Invest in a good quality scopelike a Leupold. A VXIII 4.5-14 wuld be just about perfect. You might also want to consider the Boone & Crockett reticle.
As for the 110 gr AB, more than enoough to punch through the shulders on deer.

Haven't got to work with a SPS, however they should perform like any rem 700. After a trigger job, maybe bed and float it, with good reloads, it should be capable of at least .75" moa. However I know that 25-06's are pretty accurate cartridges. They usually are not fussy. Stick with any proven load and it will amaze you at what it can do. The 25-06 is my favorite cartridge so I try to give it props.

Thanks for the help guys... You are helping me spend money! I already ordered the Accubonds and BT's. Looking at scopes and bases now.
The 4.5x14 Leupold with the B&C runs $579 for matte and $599 for the new gun metal grey. This aint getting cheap.
What's the consensus on the Leupold DD bases and Burris Signature rings?
Keep the suggestions comming...

Use the 115 gr load data and work up watching for pressure signs.
IMR4350, IMR4831 and RL19 would be good powders to start with.

I used the 110 AccuBond, out of a Ruger No. 1, 26" barrel, last fall. Shot a blacktail buck at about 60 yards. The bullet shot through both shoulders, but was found on the opposite side, just under the skin. Weight retention was about 49%. I'm using 49.0 grains of IMR 4350, for just over 3,000 FPS and shooting just over 3/4" groups from 100 yards.

Im using 53g, h4831sc for 3085fps with the 110g AB. It shoots .5" at 100 yards, and 3.5" at 525 yards. 25-06 winchester 70 classic sporter. Haven't shot anything with them yet. If you need loads for 115g btips, pm me, I can give you quite a few.

Got the Leupold 4.5x14 B&C yesterday. Nice piece of glass!
Also got some factory ammo (remington 100's $115's) along with my reloading stuff. Still wating on my 2nds order from the Proshop so I will have to try the 100 gr. TSX while waiting.
Still waiting on the gun, Bud's was a little slow on shipping.
