[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1025028, member: 10291"] I have been quite impressed with the consistency of the Remington Milspec rifles. I bought my first Milspec 700 in 308 when first made available, about 10 years ago and when shot out, replaced it with another, usually around 2500 rounds. Im just about at 1500 rounds on my third. Groups seem to open up to .5-.7 at 2500 rounds. I shoot long strings with a very hot barrel. I'm surprised they last as long as they do. I have used them for competition and some hunting (308). Each of the rifles shot .3MOA or better right out of the box with the same handloads, .5MOA or better with Federal Match 168 and 165gr Nosler Custom BT factory ammo. I also have a few shooting buddies that have bought these rifles for use in competition and the results are identicle to mine. Last year I bought a Milspec 700 in 300WM and it is shoots as well as the 308's. I use this for ELR. If I had to put my money on an out of the box factory rifle I would probably go with the 700 Milspec. [/QUOTE]
