I have a 700 Classic that now wears a BDL stock that survived the Wreck of the Hesperus but fits me better than the original stock, which I still have in 99% condition. When I first acquired it in 1989, it didn’t shoot well with 200 gr Core Lokts but really shined with 225 gr TBBC loads after a couple hundred rounds of Core Lokts. It shoots the 225 Partitions and TBBC into bug hole groups so I’m not concerned about the 16:1 twist rate. I have no idea how it would shoot the current variety of 200 gr factory loads from Rem, Winchester, or Hornady. Not going to piss away money to find out.
