I had one of those 700 Synthetic Stainless Varmints. I could only eke out @. .75-1” groups. I and two others ordered at the same time. They couldn’t get groups under 1.5”. It turned out that the free bore was @.5” on one and 3/8” on the other. They went back to Remington. My rifle was about 5/16”, but still shot better than theirs. I ended up selling mine here.
