While my most recent Remington shoots a lot of different ammo well enough for hunting and I haven't found the need to tinker with it, most Rems I've worked with have needed work to get both lugs to bear evenly. In fact that is a standard practice of the smiths I've dealt with when I've had Rems rebarreled. Will a rifle shoot well with only a single lug bearing most of the pressure? It can, especially if the load pressures aren't real high. Buying the Remington brand surely gives one no assurance that out-of-box accuracy will be stellar. They are, however, easier than many guns to get to shoot well with minor tinkering.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
