Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles How the Best Barrels are Made

I just love my Model 700.

We hadn't noticed....

jstall: I have seen quite a few Abolts shoot and they are accurate rifles. I am not an Abolt fan myself but can't deny the damn things do shoot very well....

A lot of the Remington "most accurate right out of the box" stuff is left-over urban myth from a couple/three decades ago.Might have been true then but no longer holds any water.

Many others equal them easily today.

Remingtons shoot even better today than they did years ago. With off brands like Ruger, Savage, Howa/Weatherby, Browning, and Sako it's still a crap shoot.

Blah,Blah,Blah

Blah, Blah, Blah....I'm right and you know it.

See I was right

I wasn't talking to you.....

At least the pre-64's remain unscathed....

Anybody ever call Remington and ask what their accuracy guarantee is on their rifles? Our resident idiot Swampstink should try it. Sako guarantees 1" and Weatherby's is 1.5". So try it Swampcheese and report back. Somehow I think you'll just make up more of your lies, but do carry on, I do so enjoy embarrasing you...

Bob in all honesty, I haven't played with an A-bolt in 15 years. That particular rifle didn't like much of anything we put through it, I finally found a load that would pretty much shoot a consistant 1 1/4 @ 100 yds. The last out of the box Rem. I shot was 2 years ago. My gunsmith buddy had sold his 7mm Rum 2 weeks before hunting season (a guy just had to have it).He pulled a 270 Rem. off the shelf and gave me a box of Fed Premium 130 BT's, and told me to zero it in. The 1st. 3 shots went into 3/8",and has yet to shoot anything over 3/4". He builds world class rifles, but this one shot so good he decided to keep it. It consistantly will put 140 Accubonds into a 1/2" @100. I realize this doesn't mean all of them will,but that one sure will.

Hell, they don't need any measured accuracy guarantee, they only need the ads proclaiming most accurate out of the box!

Since every Remington 700 will shoot less than 1" right out of the box, why would I call anyone. The word Remington on the barrel is the only gurantee I need to see.

The Remington 700 is the best selling and most accurtae production rifle in the world.

That is simply untrue and demonstrates that you have far less experience with Remington 700's than you profess.....assuming of course that you sincerely believe a third of what you post.....which I seriously doubt,and suspect it's put forth to see how many hackles you can raise.

That said even the most demonstrably silly statements demand repudiation every now and then

Dont get me wrong, I like my remingtons. But if they were "the best in the world" why did i have to send it back to get worked on after on 17 rounds out of a brand new rifle? If they were the best in the world, why did it take 3 months to get it back with a simple fix? If they were the best in the world, why cant i get it to shoot less than 2.5" with any factory 95-100gr ammo including Corelokts?

The problem isn't the rifle.

I did, working with a 7400, and was told that 3" was what they expected out of them. I told them I occasionally got a group that small.

Had a BDL in .308 that was no better than 2".

Before Swampy says it was the shooter, I also had my M70 .300 WinMag with me during one shooting session, and when the Remingtons were doing what they were, The Winchester was shooting .75" groups. Same shooter, same bench setup.

The answer is Remington's guarantee is 4"...Funny how Swampdick fails to respond to the many links and real-world documented experiences of law suits, Professional Hunters and everyday folks like ourselves. Of course I realize he's being a total dick with his responses, then again given his photograph, his story about that "mature" deer and the fact he hasn't got the brains to even to properly affix a sling on a rifle, he's still a dick, a retarded dick...

Just because something is the best selling of its kind doesn't mean dip.

McDonalds has sold more hamburgers than any other burger place in the world, doesn't mean they're the best, or even good.

Swampman,

I am a member of the St.louis Benchrest club. I will meet you there (directions on the website) with five Sako rifles and you bring five remington rifles. The only bet will be we get to post the results here with pics. Are you in?
