[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1621683, member: 59036"] Do what I do. Walmart has 700 ADL Remington's for $375. That's cheaper than you can buy the action for. Get one. See how it shoots. Try different loads. Check the bedding. Do all the normal tinkering. If I couldn't get the results I wanted, then I'd remove the barrel, face the reciever where it mates the barrel to insure it is square, lap the bolt lugs to the reciever, surface grind the recoil lug the insure it is even and to achieve minimal excessive headspace. If all that won't get good results, install a new barrel. Or buy a more expensive rifle. Although I've heard that Bergaras had some problems with bolt shrouds breaking. Who knows, that cheap ADL just might shoot. I've never had a M700 lemon and I own several. Supposedly, the only difference in the Walmart rifles is that polished as nicely. Good luck. It's your money. Throw the dice and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
