I have the 700 VSSF in 22-250 in what I call version 1 that I bought a long time ago when they first came out.

I have had no problems and this one just happens to be one of my most accurate rifles. Many buddies that I've shot stuff with will comment on how accurate it is.

Sorry to hear that you are struggling with yours. With the reputation these rifles have, if it doesn't come around a trip back to Remington would seem to be called for. We buy this type of rifle to shoot those little tiny groups.
