[QUOTE="Buano, post: 566942, member: 21641"] The Rem 700 is the most worked on rifle model ever, partly because there are so many of them floating around, and partly because some of them need a lot of work. I've seen Model 700 rifles that would shoot 3/8" groups with factory ammunition on day one & others that wouldn't hold 2.5" groups with any ammunition tried. You don't tell us the details of what you have or how it shoots so I can only talk in generalities. To increase accuracy of a Model 700 start at the beginning of this list & go as far as you need to to get the performance you want. Most basic improvements: Tune or replace the trigger. I lean towards replacing. Bed the action. Lap the barrel. Float the barrel if it's not already. Lap lugs recrown the barrel Major work: True the action. rebarrel restock Non "shootability" improvements Plate or coat metal surfaces. Camo-dip stock & barrel Now you have a list of what you may want to have done. Figure which of these you can afford & justify. Those are the items you should have done. [/QUOTE]
