[QUOTE="Firecat, post: 461237, member: 22600"] I own several Ruger rifles, one Remington and one Browning. After all was said and done the Remington was the worst out of the box and required the most work to get it to shoot with the others. All of my Rugers required me to float the barrel to shoot sub MOA. However, Once I did they would all shoot .75 MOA or better. I feel somewhat fortunate to have had good luck when buying Rugers as not all have had this success. My Browning is a solid .66 MOA rifle right out of the box no work required. The Remington was closer to 1.5 MOA. I had to re-crown the barrel, bed the action and weight the stock to get it to shoot sub MOA. It will now shoot .75 MOA. I must say that I like the way that the Rugers and Remingtons look better than the browning. I also like the way they fit better as well. If I were buying a new rifle knowing that i would likely use it in a custom later, I would either go with a Remington 700 as my first choice or a Savage as my second. They both seem to have the most after market accessories available. The poster above mentioned the Icon. I have really been wanting to try one for a while now. I think that they have a lot to offer. The new Winchester model 70 looks promising as well. You could also use the model 70 in a custom build later with good success. [/QUOTE]
