[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 934027, member: 12995"] Don't let this thread deter you from buying an SPS in 7mm RemMag. He happened to get a lemon, and those are going to happen with anything man-made. It is not a common occurance, but the reason you see so many of these threads, is because nobody ever posts any threads about their good shooting Remington 700 with issues. I would be willing to bet that 500/1 Remington 700's might have an issue. I've only onwed 1 that wouldn't group, and I'm pretty sure it was due to the ammo I was given for that caliber, as I had no interest in keeping it that caliber. EVERY single one of my custom rifles I've had built this year 4, going on 5 have all used factory Remington 700 barrel, that have been hand-lapped, and had the chambers trued and centered, and had the threads and shoulders squared. All of them shoot sub-1/2 MOA with handloads (except the .300 Ackley and the .30-06 Ackley, as I haven't had time to form brass, or to do any load develpment with them yet). I will probably be doing so this weekend, though, and will post my findings. However, I anticipate sub-1/2 MOA with dialed-in loads, because all of my others have been shooting this good, or better.
