[QUOTE="Fred Ea, post: 619694, member: 43009"] I have been hunting and shooting all my life, reloading for rifles of many makes for the last 25+ years and almost all the "factory" rifles struggle to shoot moa or better without any work done to them. For the average person on a average salary can't afford to drop 3k to 4k on a custom rifle and another 1k to 3k on a fancy scope. So when it comes to the 700 action, it is as good as the rest of the factory guns that I have experience with. In order to get better results with any rifle, the action and bolt will need to be trued up, trigger job, action bedded, and barrel replaced or free floated etc. to obtain sometimes minimal results at best and that can be pricey at times. For someone like me, that is all you can do that is affordable to help with accuracy. I have had the best results with Rem. 700's and the gunsmith I use likes the 700 better than any other factory actions out there. He did say that the older actions and barrels were better and had the best results with them in the past. I think the gun companies are following suit as other companies are doing, as our country goes down the pipes, so does everything else and that is sad to see from what our country once was. For the wisdom of man is foolishness to God. FE [/QUOTE]
