[QUOTE="sll, post: 552988, member: 934"] I really hate seeing a thread like this, as I have always been a Remington fan. That being said, I have owned over two dozen 700's in the last 30 years and never seen one that I could not find a load for to make it a .5MOA gun......until now. I always wanted to try a 300WM 5R in their rifle, and bought one about a month ago. I only fired 29 rounds through the rifle,,,,,,,,it would not shoot better than a 3" group at 100 yards. I changed mounts and scope to rule that out in the testing and same thing, terrible accuracy. Fired brass would have bad gouges in it and 7 out of 10 rounds fire-formed to the gun would not rechamber. Pretty sure of a chamber/reamer issue from the factory........on a special run production rifle to boot. I just sent it on its way back to Remington on Friday, so stay tuned for what takes place. I will say that this is the worst QC issue I have ever been involved with from any manufacturer. Gun will not group, chamber is out of round, floorplate is a bitch to get back in with magazine, tooling marks, and it has the roughest cycling action of any bolt action rifle I have ever seen. I am sick......hopefully something good will come out of the return. If not, well, I just do not know what is next..... [/QUOTE]
