I should follow up on Al’s post above. I am confident on the crown of this barrel because or the gunsmith who shortened the barrel and knowing the previous owner who had the work done. It is extremely unlikely that he damaged it Additionally, this rifle has less than 100 rounds through it, likely leas than 50 so I’m betting that the throat is good.

Gzig5, thanks for the info on the bedding compound. I don’t like this stock much at all, the only thing between me and a Manners UC-Plus is $975. Not sure I want to spend that on a $500 rifle, which is the point of this thread. I may pillar bed the Rem plastic stock. Not really interested in wood for this rifle.

Is the 700RR. Any better or worse than any other produced in the past 20 or so years when it comes time for the gunsmith to chuck it up?

Kenns1, what made you choose Trigger Tech over Timney?

I’m interested in any other input as well.

Thanks guys.

Frank
