Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Most accurate 30-06 factory rifle?

My Remington 700 LSS Mountain Rifle 30-06 cost $750.00 shipped to my FFL. Took it right out of the laminated stock and dropped it right into a New Ti take-off.




Scary accurate even with blue box Federal 180gr.

Ken

Nice rifle. Is that a 2.5-8x36????

OOTBA goes to Sako and Tikka. Not saying others aren't accurate, just that sako and tikka are more consistent out of the box.

Correct, Remington owns Marlin. Cerberus/Freedom owns Remington, and Remington (not Cerberus/Freedom) owns Marlin.

Current Remington production is more accurate than ever.

BSA - It's a VX-III 3.5-10x40 in a set of low Talleys.

Ken

Thanks ken, those 3.5-10's are nice scopes. Still trying to decide which one I want though.......

Lol. Okay, Swampy, it's your fantasy...keep talkin'.

Once again, I state the facts. What others do with them makes no difference to me.

Head in the sand approach...ignore it and it might go away.

I have a quality issue with one of mine, so how can you say there have been no issues? Ignorance is bliss I guess.

How about doning something really different (for you) and producing a smidgen of DATA to back up your supposed "facts"?

Ken, I have the exact same rifle but this action is going into an Edge I have on order. If it shoots like yours I will be ecstatic.

No. You state your beliefs, and you state your wishes.

Facts...facts are something you have no familiarity with.

In fact, it's a fact that you avoid facts at all costs.

Oldelkhunter,

Friday I looked at the McMillan web site and found this listed under the special page :

#2749 Remington Mountain Rifle
34% Red / 33% Black / 33% Gray Marble RH L700 Rem BDL F/P FAC REM MTN RIFLE B/C 1" DECEL PAD 13.5 LOP $488.00

The lady put me on hold and when she came back she told me it was already sold. I missed it. DARN ! No Wait if it was in stock.

That's about as clear a Swampy explanation as I've heard.

Swampy has his opinion and that is fine............but...........he fails to realize that some members here have had good luck with other brands as far as accuracy goes. You can't fault a guy if he has had nothing but Ruger 77's and all have turned out good accuracy.........why look elsewhere.

Swampy's fixation with 700's must be erotic to him !!!

I ordered mine in April, should be getting here soon. I am getting the Mtn rifle Edge with 1" decel pad set at 13 5/8" LOP.

Typical Remington fan club BS. You must not have looked at many Remington 700 made in the last few years to state that. I've looked at several including bore scoping them. Typical late model 700's issues include bad bores with chatter marks, chambers that look like they were cut with a chisel, bolt timing off, bad crowns & bedding etc etc.

10-15 years ago Remington 700's were a gun most anyone would be proud to own. I wouldn't use a new one for a canoe paddle.

My opinion is the facts. Your opinion is an opinion. The off brands are just that....off brands. Do your research on who bought Marlin. It's easy to find.

The most accurate production boltaction rifle in the world is the Remington Model 700. It follows that if you bought one in .30-06 then you'd have the "most accurate .30-06 factory rifle.".....in the world.

You morons keep comparing apples to oranges. The SPS/ADL isn't as pretty as a BDL or CDL, but it shoots just as good. There are no quality issues.

Swampy you are full of poop. I have owned them all and 98% of all Remingtons will not shoot with a Sako. I own 6 or 8 Remingtons right now and only one can shoot under .5 (3 shots) and its a varmint in 223.

If you own more than a few 700's you have run into the ones that won't shoot less than two inches at 100. To say all yours shoot .5 with factory ammo is nothing more than a out right lie.

Dink

In order to be able to state this as a "fact" you would have to have conducted a peer-reviewed scientific statistical analysis of likely hundreds of M700's produced "today" versus a similar number produced "then". If you have these data, let's see them. (And then you might have a little credibility.)

Quoting advertising slogans as "facts" doesn't do much for your credibility.
