[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1571061, member: 229"] I don't know much about the K31 rifles, but modern-day Remington 700s lack a lot in the way of QC (I've seen MOA 700s out of the box and I've also seen 700s that couldn't hold 3 MOA with several different samples of ammunition). It would depend a lot on which model 700, and what year it was made. Modern-day Remington Police, Tactical, and the 5R-Mil-spec rifles are pretty darn accurate (the modern-day Varmint and other heavy-barreled commercial variants are hit/miss). Remington 700s built in the 60s-70s will hold their own with just about any rifle out there (and had triggers that were amazing). I don't know what a K31 sells for nowdays, but I've seen them on Gunbroker and such for anywhere from $300 or so to $5,000 (I've never been actively looking for one, so I've never paid much attention to their prices - they're nice guns, but I've just never been into them), but it would seriously be hard to do an apples-to-apples comparison if you spent more than $2000 on a K31 - a Remington with an action-blurprint, afte-rmarket barrel/Recoil lug, and after-market stock can be had for less than $2000. I've got two 700s that are well under 1MOA guns and neither have more than $3000 in them with all the accessories (but only the bolt and receiver say "Remington" on them and both the receivers/bolts have been blueprinted/modified).
