[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1744774, member: 94491"] depends, mine was cr@p--- the barrel was horribly rough and never really smoothed out, it would copper foul after 40 shots or less--couldn't get it to shoot consistently better than 1.25moa (occasionally, yes but not consistently)--the forearm of the stock was soft and easily moved, the forearm also was warped and put pressure on 1 side of the barrel-- I free floated it, even stiffened the forearm and bedded the action--didnt change the accuracy. Tried 6 different types of factory ammo, 7 different bullets, 4 different powders, 3 sets of dies, 3 types of primers, 2 types of bases and rings, 3 different scopes, finally gave up on it after 986 rounds and sold it off--sure I sold it for what I bought it for but lost a ton of $ and time (and hair) on it --mine was a 7rm-- bought an xbolt stalker in same cartridge and within 1 month had it shooting .6 moa consistently so i know it wasn't the shooter guess I got one made on friday at 5p cheap guns can be accurate too, bought a TC compass for my daughter and the thing shoots 3/4 moa easily I have heard good things about customizing the 783, the receiver is supposed to be stronger/more rigid than the 700-- there is some aftermarket support for the 783 but not near what the 700 or 70 has at this time [/QUOTE]
