[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 366245, member: 5302"] Around 1970, The US Navy Small Arms Match Conditioning Unit at San Diego had some Rem. 700's with Redfield's atop them they were testing for accuracy with different lots of M118 match ammo. They would ship two ammo cans of the best shooting lot with each 700 to SEAL team units. Typical accuracy at 600 yards tested in a machine rest was 6 to 7 inches. They also had some silencers on a few of these rifles. About 16 inches long and near 1.5 inches in diameter, they did reduce the report quite a bit. But accuracy with the silencer attached suffered a bit limiting their use to no more than about 400 yards. [/QUOTE]
