[QUOTE="Rhino55, post: 1977269, member: 40625"] A lot of companies have stepped up their game in quality of their rifles over the last few years. I have always likes the Remington 700s. There are plenty of after market parts to improve upon the factory parts and they are easy to maintain. You can get the basic 700 ADL from Academy Sports (Oklahoma) for less than $300.00. Pull it out of the plastic (Tupperware) stock and drop it into a composite or aluminum stock and by just doing that will improve your accuracy. Also lap the bore! This will smooth out the rifling. Shoot it once you have done this and see if you like it or not. If not you can either true/blue print the action, install a one piece bolt or custom barrel. I'm lucky because I have a lathe and a mill. I build my own rifles from stripped 700 actions. [/QUOTE]
