[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 3054891, member: 38154"] I just reread your post, and realized it is a 700 SPS Tactical. I'm pretty sure it is basically the same rifle as the 700 PSS (Police Sniper Special). We had 10 of them on our SWAT Team, in the late 90's, and they were superbly accurate. I shot a 5 shot group that measured less than .20 with Federal Gold Match 168 Sierra ammo. Another team member shot similar groups with the Remington 168 Match load. I'm thinking since yours is a match rifle intended for precision shooting, it would have fired more than just the one "proof load" at the factory. I'm sure they need to shoot it enough to confirm the accuracy standards they advertise, so several shots would have been fired. Maybe that's why it appears to be more "copper fouling" than usual when looking at a new rifle. [/QUOTE]
