[QUOTE="Altiman94, post: 617074, member: 41071"] I have two Remington 700's and while I'm no rifle expert I do shoot them semi-regularly. Now that I'm preparing for an antelope trip I've been shooting the rifles more. Rifle 1 (.30-06 BDL made in 1995) is a great rifle. My only grip is that the factory stock is not free-floated. I'm getting 1-1.25" accuracy @ 100 yards using factory Hornady ammo. Rifle 2 (.243 ADL bought brand new in 2012) is a 'decent' gun. Same as above, it's not free-floated. The no-drop plate is kind of a pain for hunting and I'm getting 1.5-2" groups @ 100 yards. I haven't spent enough time developing a load for this gun....so testing is on-going. Both rifles need to be bedded and free-floated. I guess for a $400 you can't expect much more than what I'm currently getting. I think some stock work will help them both tremendously for accuracy. But for 'hunting accuracy' both would suffice very well. I'm just picky and want to see the holes touching @ 100y. [/QUOTE]
