[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1797376, member: 87243"] I think your missing the point of this thread. If he wanted to buy a bench rest rifle to shoot 15 round strings at 1000 yards, I bet he would have asked how the rem 700 lr was for bench rest shooting 15 round strings at 1000 yards. I would concur with you, if I wanted to build a dedicated br gun, I wouldn't be looking at a factory Remington, for the most part that goes without saying. Custom actions fit that niche. The cost in "sleeving" a factory action in conjunction with truing and any other needed work to make it more rigid or useful in br makes zero sense when you can buy an extremly stiff custom dedicated br action for the same or less cost these days. But I highly doubt that the motive of overkill338's question is so that he can use this 13 lb sporting 300 win mag competitively for bench rest. More as a hunting and steel practice rifle likely, where 1-3 shots is all that will ever be needed in any string 95% of the time. [/QUOTE]
