If a gun is built right and quality componets are used and I don't mean as cheep as you can find then I would think a quality custom built rifle on a blueprinted Remington 700 should shoot 1/2 moa with most over the counter rounds. Reason being is I have seen this and have shot a friend of mines rifle that does this with no problem. We shot the federal classics through it (its a 308 win). You could cover them all up with a dime. We shot some whinchester silver tips ammo 168 grain and same deal. We shot what the previous owner told us to use which was the federal match grade ammo and it shoots 1 ragged hole. Maybe this is not the usual but I would think this is something thats not out of the norm either. The prior owner who had the rifle built shot the gun 3 time and took it back to the smith and for some reason he did not like the way the barrel was cleaning up at the crown so he cut it back to 23 inches and re-crowned it again. Apparently the second time he got it right. The owner gave us the smiths target and he gave us some targets he had shot with the federal match ammo. I'll be the first to say its probably the best shooting gun I have shot since it shoot over the counter rounds this well. The gun started out as a Remington 700 I believe it was a police model something that looked like a sendero but with a greenish tint stock. The action was blueprinted and it had a bartlein barrel on it. the stock had also been bedded with the barrel being floated. It has a jewel trigger at 1lb and a timney trigger. The day we were out shooting the timney trigger was in the gun. I told my buddy you probably should start thinking about shooting matches. Gun was bought for 2200 dollars. Smith lives up in Pocatello Idaho. Not sure his business name though. one other thing about this gun...its polished to a mirror finish. the bolt is flutted and it looks like the inside of the barrel has the same mirror finish. sweet looking gun and shoots sweeter.</p></blockquote><p></p>
