[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 606391, member: 10291"] The last four 700's I bought over the years were specials. Three Mil Spects, and the commemorative M40 Scout Sniper rifle, Viet Nam era. One of the Mil Specs wouldn't shoot, the other two were excellent. I was going to just keep the M40 as a collector, but couldn't resist the temptation to shoot it. What a surprise. It consistently keeps 5 shots under an inch at 300 yards with 168 SMK's. They must have paid some attention to the barrel. I suspect it was made in the custom shop. The steel butt plate will kill you. I bought it when you could get them for $900. Now you can't touch them for under $2500. It's plain as hell, but with a period 3-9 Redfield on it, it's my favorite Remington. Generally, the new 700's are not as nice as the older ones. I wouldn't buy a new one. I would stick a barrel on an older action. [/QUOTE]
