[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1055082, member: 12995"] That's how I feel about Salvages... I'll take my 700's any day of the week. My factory 700's are still factory and untouched for a reason...They still shoot sub-1/5 MOA groups with handloads. My semi-custom 700's will shoot 1/4 MOA or better with handloads...With free-floated factory hand-lapped Remington barrels, bedded actions, and old-style Rem/Walker triggers (wide-shoe). I guess some people just know how to make guns shoot, and some don't want to bother with learning, or don't care to, because they have the money to drop on a full-custom rifle on a Borden action, McGowan barrel, McMillan stock, etc...And top it off with a $4,000 Schmidt & Bender. But most of us can't even afford just that scope, or just that rifle... So we make do with what he have available to us. Yes, some Remington barrels won't shoot no matter what...But guess what, so does EVERY manufacturer who produces their own barrels. Even custom barrel makers have a lemon leave their factory every now and then. Nothing man-made is perfect. I have faith in my Remingtons, because I've seen what I can make them do, and what my smith can make them do... And when the factory barrels are toast on them, they'll be getting Bartlein 5R barrels back on them. But for now, a factory barrel that is shooting 1/5 MOA or better, is just fine for me. [/QUOTE]
