[QUOTE="Daveinjax, post: 807440, member: 48429"] Sounds like you have done the basics. It may take a lot of loading to find something it likes or sell it and try to find another rifle. If you sell it and get something else I would recommend buying a custom from one of the smiths on here or rework the winchester. I've come to the conclusion it is cheaper to buy a custom in the long run. I don't believe you are any more likely to get a good Remington. From the box I would look to a Savage or a Tikka . I believe if you work at it you will find a powder , bullet , and seating depth combination that will work but it may take more time and money than you have to put into it. I have a Remington 700 I hate but don't sell because I have so much time and money invested . I can't bear to walk away. All my future rifles will start with a used rifle for a donor action and have exactly what I want built with quality parts. For $1600 to $2000 I can have a rifle that I know will shoot instead of $1000 for a "quality" factory rifle I will end up spending another $500 to a $1000 to get shooting. [/QUOTE]
