[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1480825, member: 91402"] I have had a number of 700's and found them all accurate and reliable. Most needed tweaking for best accuracy. Float the barrel, tune the trigger, and glass bed the recoil lug and tang. On older rifles the stock has a tendency to become compressed around the stock screws and glass bedding helps along with a washer between the floor plate and stock. If the accuracy is fading and you think it's the barrel check the throat to see if it is getting wore out. Sometimes just setting the barrel set back a half or three quarters of an inch and recutting the chamber and throat will solve the problem. Also, check the crown. Any kind of anomaly at the muzzle end can mess with the accuracy. Personally, I have found over the years that I have regretted making obvious major alterations to sentimental favourites unless they have become so dysfunctional as to be virtually useless. [/QUOTE]
