[QUOTE="cholla chomper, post: 867025, member: 24238"] I have two 700's one in 22-250 and one in .223 my 22-250 had a sporter barrel and shot ok 1" groups the first few rounds and as the barrel warmed up the spread became larger1 1/2 to 2" were the norm, The stocks are junk and have pressure points along the barrel make the barrel move as the barrel heats up and it bothered me greatly, I found a new take off in a varmint barrel it also was marked target only and installed it and the head space cut after break in I replaced the stock and it is floated to the action the groups went to .3 inch and extremely pleased. The .223 I bought new with a varmint barrel after about 50 rounds I bought a boyd's stock for it and it is fully floated and worked up a load for it and am pleased with the .29 I shot with it a few weeks ago at the range. For the most part I think the quality in the gun is very good but remington went to the cheap side with the stocks and reduced the shooting quality of the rifle. [/QUOTE]
