[QUOTE="Rock 29, post: 885734, member: 69207"] Interesting thread, I can't comment on current 700 quality but can say that I own 3 "older" 700's and they all shoot under 1". My newest is an original 700 ti in 7-08 and my current 120 load shoots @.520 and is a dream to carry. My only concern is when I get around to trying 140's is the mag. only allows max oal at 2.800 the bullet will sit deep. My second is an original Mt. rifle, .30-06 from early 80's and it has shot any bullet weight I have tried under 1" with most loads being closer to .50"(165,180,200). My third was a model 78 sportsman that became a 35 Whelen AI and it shoots 225 Barnes XLC's at 2880 fps @ .625. All have had very little work done to them other than making the triggers better and making sure the barrels are floated, and working hard on load development. [/QUOTE]
