[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 117634, member: 10"] Ryno, I do not mean to talk down about another company in the shooting industry but if their smith says its to much of a pain to accurize a Rem 700 that tells me alot about the attitude at the company. Cutting corners will get you a general purpose big game rifle like you can get off the shelf at any sporting good store. If you want a shooter, spend a little more money, get a barrel from Lilja, Rock, Hart, Kreiger, Broughton or any other well know accuracy minded barrel makers. Send it all to an accuracy minded gunsmith and you will get vastly superior results for your investment. It will cost a bit more but you will forget about that when you are punching 1/2 moa or better groups consistantly instead of every once in a while. I have built on a few of the MRC receivers and fitted a couple of barrels. The barrels shot pretty well but they were fitted using match quality barrel fitting techniques, no corner cutting and on fully accurized receivers. The MRC receivers are fine for general big game rifles, not for extreme accuracy rifles in my opinion. Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
