I have bought close to 40 Remington 700's and honestly on 1 would shoot out of the box a 35 whelan, great gun. All the others would shoot ok 1 1/2 inches at 100 but to get them to under an inch I spent money, new crown, bedding sometimes trigger and on a bunch new barrel. I guess I just have bad luck but I keep trying and after fixing my 700's drive tacks.by the way I have not a great groups with many out of the with the exception of sauer's.,blaser and CZ. They habeen really good. I have 2 STW's and I love the caliber with heavier bullets 160 accubonds, 175 TSX and the 180 bergers.great round.
