[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 931100, member: 12995"] I'm gonna give you my "patent answer" that I get mocked about, but it works on a non-shooting Remington. True the action threads & face, lap the lugs, square the bolt face...Basically complete trueing of the reciever (might need trued raceways, but your smith can tell you if tou do or don't). Have the barrel threads and shoulder trued. Have the barrel hand-lapped and re-crowned. Have the action bedded in the stock. And have the barrel free-floated. If it won't shoot after all that, move on to ordering a B&C Medalist stock ($265) and an new aftermarket barrel blank, and let your smith do his magic on it. Should be a shooter. Remington 700's have THE largest aftermarket support of any brand bolt-action rifle. And there's a reason for that. When they work, they're precise! Personally, I just buy cheap used ones for $300-400 to use as my basis for builds, since Remington's quality has become hit or miss lately. I've had excellent experiences with factory Remington rifles, except one. But it got rebarreled almost immediately after I bought it, because I didn't like the caliber. [/QUOTE]
