[QUOTE="WILJAM09, post: 1241564, member: 98337"] Hey everyone, first post been lurking for years gathering info. I wanted to do a review on the Remington 700 police in 300 win mag. When searching for info on this rifle before purchasing I couldn't find all that much about it in 300 win mag although there were many reviews of the version in 308. Specs: Remington 700P 300 Winchester Magnum 26inch barrel 1:10 twist rate HS Precision stock with aluminum bedding Remington trigger 40X police I just started getting into long range shooting I had a rifle that just wasn't cutting it for long range (500+yds). The stock wasn't stiff enough for repeatable shots, the barrel was sporter weight, and overall wasn't a "long range" rig setup. I have a friend who has a Remington 700 long range in 7mm rem mag that shoots lights out. So originally I was going to purchase a 700LR model, went to the gun store they didn't have any in stock but this 700 police caught my eye. Still affordably prices for what you are getting. Decided to do some research before I bought but couldn't find much on reviews or accuracy of rifles. I really wanted a 7mm rem mag (already had reloading equipment for) but I went ahead and took the plunge just based off of the spec sheet of the rifle and happy I did. Fit and finish is all business, not a "pretty" rifle but that's what I wanted a long range shooting machine. First 20 shots I was so so on the rifle I just dropped $850 on the rifle $50 on bases and gun was only shooting 1.5-1.75moa at 100yds. But this was just factory 180gr ammo what could I expect, I knew it could do better. The trigger was super heavy and I would get two shots almost touching then a flyer.
