A Remington 700 is too expensive. To compete with an off the shelf Tikka, the Remington will need the action trued, bolt face trued, chambered properly, barrel replaced and trigger replaced.
If you are happy with 3 shot 100 yard groups at 1.5 inches it will be a good hunter out to maybe 200 yards.
Sure , you can find one that is acceptably accurate but that is a crap shoot.
Successive owners have pulled the equity out of the brand.
