[QUOTE="DesertDweller62, post: 2633594, member: 85975"] The Remington 700 series of rifles (721/722/725) were and are a benchmark in American rifle-building. More custom rigs have been built on the 700 action than any other. I have owned quite a few and almost all have shot well. The two that gave me more trouble were from the Remington Custom Shop. One 700 APR in 300 Weatherby shot 3-4" groups at 100 yds. no matter what I did. I sent it back and Remington installed a new barrel, problem solved. Another Mod.7 AWR in 7SAUM wouldn't group under 2" - I don't have it anymore. The advancements in laser rangefinders, composite stocks, turret riflescopes, barrels, bullets, triggers and actions the last 20 years is mind blowing. It makes the accuracy standards of the past obsolete. When most shots at game are taken under 500 yds. an off the shelf 700 will do a great job. When you go to or past 500 yds., the game changes.
