[QUOTE="scf, post: 1055095, member: 62116"] In 2012 I bought a Rem 700 in 7RUM. Could not get it to shoot but wrote that off to the wimpy barrel and over bore caliber. Then bought a 700XCR tactical with B&C stock and heavy barrel in 300 Win mag. It wouldn't shoot either so I sent it back to Remington. They recrowned the barrel and sent it back with a test target. The four shot group from the Remington shop with 180 gr bullets at 100 yards measured 1.8". Not quite what I was hoping for and thus the end of my dealings with Remington factory rifles. They do not seem to be the old Remington which I had faith in. I have several factory Savage rifles and they all shoot well. I would only buy a Remington for the action. I would have it trued, rebarreled with Bartlein, Brux or Kreiger and a Jewell trigger installed. [/QUOTE]
