[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1577271, member: 31264"] I didn't start smithing till I retired after 34 years as an engineer, but I agree with you on all counts. I like to call the 700 a diamond in the rough. A little polish and TLC and they will all shoot. I really like the new Trigger Tech line of zero creep triggers. They feel every bit as nice as the Jewell. I have found a few H&S stocks with the aluminum bedding blocks that produced flyers and/or double groups and needed bedding too. The semi V-block design doesn't always work as well as it could. Lately, I have run into a few 700s that had bad bolt timing or too much bolt slop. I don't like retiming the bolt but either way a PTG replacement bolt and re-headspacing fixes those issues too. With a little work, sub 1/2 MOA 5 shot groups are the norm for the Rem 700 and 1/4 is doable with a custom barrel. [/QUOTE]
