I bought a Model 700 ADL Package Rifle in 308 about a couple of years ago. After I swapped the scope and mounts, it shot MOA with several cheap factory loads. The Barnes TTSX 150-grain load took the cake with a consistent 0.6 MOA and 2,886 fps. The best handload so far is (no surprise) 46 grains of Varget and a 165-grain Nosler Partition, which does 2,700 fps at the muzzle and stays sub-MOA beyond 300 yards. I had the barrel cut to 22" and had it bedded into an HS Precision stock. Neither was necessary but I like the results.

I bought one in 30-06 just after Christmas. I haven't shot it enough to have an opinion on it yet. I swapped out the scope and mounts but I'll probably leave it stock otherwise.
