[QUOTE="3inSlugger, post: 2348603, member: 18508"] In light of the recent hate on 700s in other threads, I thought I'd post this up... I bought a 700 in .270 two years ago from a gunsmith. It is an ADL, and unbedded. The gunsmith had put about an 2lb trigger on it....just a beautiful trigger of the old type. Before I bedded it, it shot about 1 MOA cold. But once the barrel heated up, I'd start vertical stringing...BAD. So I bedded it myself, and ended up breaking off the bolt in the process. So I finished the bedding, got an improved and longer bolt [I]welded[/I] on and voila....

[IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i1058.photobucket.com_albums_t414_3inSlugger_20131125_184812_zps13bc4117.jpg[/IMG] This was from a standing, but supported position. So Remington 700s aren't top of the line, but I have a rifle that shoots Sub-MOA for under $700, that's a pretty good deal. [/QUOTE]
