[QUOTE="notajeep, post: 685023, member: 40148"] I have been wondering about the same issue for over a year. My M-700 VSF shoots pretty well. As in 2.5" groups at 500YDS with out weighing brass or trickling powder. I'd like to improve the rifle accuracy as well. I have played around with bullet seating depth and with the Hornady A-max 168Gr with the bullet just sitting inside the brass it barely touches. So I jumped to the SMK 180Gr to see how the fit was. Long story short the free bore in my M-700 factory original dimensions must have been made to accept the longest of 30cal bullets. Well this stinks, I prefer the 168's or something a bit smaller. I'm interested in a shorter free bore as to reduce bullet jump. With the benefit of being able to use the magazine and hopefully improved accuracy. I guess I'll be looking into having this done this winter. [/QUOTE]
