I've got a Remington 700 in .257 Roberts.
Its pretty much OEM. I replaced the tubberware stock with a bedded Boyd's laminate and switched out the firing pin & bolt shroud.
The rifle shoots as well as any rifle I've ever owned.
Its super accurate with all loads tried.
Would like to lighten it up a bit, no stock change this year.
Would like to cut the barrel back to 20", have it cerakoted and possibly a smaller more compact scope.
Has anyone ruined there accuracy by doing custom work on a rifle?
Then wait until next year for a proper lightweight stock.
