[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 2214693, member: 307"] Bought my son a Rem700 stainless Mtn rifle w/laminate stock, in June of 2004 and experienced a lot of consistency and accuracy problems. This was purchased strictly for the boy to deer hunt with. It had 22" pencil thin barrel and gave me a fit for about 4-5 months. A lovely, slick, little rifle but consecutive charges (i.e., 42.5, 43.0, 43.5) would go from 1.5" to 3" to 3/4". Drove me nuts! I had purchased him the Ruger compact (18.5") barrel to start with and it was worse than the Remington and louder, to boot! It would have made a good gun for "kicking up" moose! :) 2.5-3.0" was the norm, no matter the component(s) combination. So, I had high hopes for the Mtn rifle but my expectations and tolerances initially were too high. I found a good load with the 120gn Ballistic Tip, 46.5gn of H4350 and a Rem9 1/2 primer. It would print .374" for the first three and started scouring the county after than. He really liked the little rifle, and kilt several deer with it, but "grew out of it" and got my .25-06Rem Sendero SF. I shot it for several years and a friend in Roanoke, Va had to have it. My one word to describe the pencil thin barreled Mtn Rifles is; persnickety. [/QUOTE]
