[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 443899, member: 21068"] Welcome to LRH, Sorry, but have to answer your question with a question. Is your rifle shooting moa with factory ammo? Or is that with the best most precise handload you can develop?? Have you modified the gun any at all yet? Bedding the action, trigger job or Timney replacement, ect.?? What kind of optics are you using to shoot 4" groups at 400 yds?? If you're shooting factory and the rifle hasn't been modified or improved any by a good gunsmith........I think it's got potential. If you're shooting with a 3-9 scope that has thick crosshairs and no parallax adjustment.....I think it's got potential. My longest successful shots out hunting have been made with Ruger 77's. They needed a little minor improving and well tuned handloads, but it didn't cost me as much as a new rifle would have, and I eventually shot the barrels out of them after many years. Yes, the Rem 700 is like the 350 Chevy engine used to be; everyone made performance parts for it. But that didn't mean it was always the winner of the race. Best of Luck! [/QUOTE]
