[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1015134, member: 12995"] I have bought a bunch of 700's since 2008 (when most of my high-end collection got stolen) to attempt to replace what got took. The reason you only hear about the bad, is because people only use the interwebz to complain about stuff, and not to talk about the hundreds of thousands that are built and sold every year that never have a problem. Most 700 rifles that have accuracy issues could be solved by a few simple fixes. Handloading your own ammo and developing a consistsnt load vs buying off the shelf ammo is a big one. Bedding the action and floating the barrel are 2 other big ones. If Remington barrels are so crappy, I guess it must have been insane for me to put a spare factory 700 barrel that was a proven shooter (off of another semi-custom I built back in January), on my A-Bolt II when the factory Browning barrel started acting finicky and inconsistant. Plus, the Remington barrel is a true 26" barrel, and Remington's magnum sporter taper is thicker than Brownings, so, I'm hoping for greater consistancy and less barrel whip. Introducing the world's first Brownington. Looks **** good, too... :D [IMG]http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq88/mudrunner2005/173720C9-E272-4B70-A915-591A65055ED9_zpssose3nsa.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq88/mudrunner2005/03B2F220-2429-4963-91D8-ECB231094279_zpsudajv6ik.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq88/mudrunner2005/FEB9E7A4-E3BB-4425-A08F-8098B83E4CF2_zps6qxmlv4d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i436.photobucket.com/albums/qq88/mudrunner2005/987FE140-1F87-41BB-B3A6-30AEA67D7D20_zpsck6naudb.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
