[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1051004, member: 69478"] I bought one of the cheap Remington 700 ADL Varmints with a camo synthetic stock and a 26" barrel. Brought it home, tuned the trigger, surface and pillar bedded it, and floated the barrel and action. Topped it with a Leupold VX-III 6.5-20x40 Target scope with Leupold rings and one piece base. I shoot 87gr V-MAXs in it with 44.0grs of IMR 4350, Winchester LR primer and Federal brass. Groups average around .290-.300ths at 100yds. Shot a 2.5" three shot group at 700yds and just shot a .294 group at the range today. Fired five rounds, four went through the same hole and one was just outside the group and I called the poor shot. It was like 10* outside so I couldn't even feel the trigger and the bad shot surprised me when it went off, but I'm happy with it considering the conditions. I would definitely buy another one and just another reason why I love Remingtons. They've all performed for outstanding me, from the cheap ones, like mine, to high dollar ones. [/QUOTE]
