[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1000254, member: 5219"] Mudrunner and I are doing the similar things. I have found that most factory Remingtons shoot very accurately with minimal work. Last year a friend sold me a new BDL in 300 win mag that his friend won as a NRA door prize. I got it for $300! I pulled that barrel and put on a takeoff 7 rem mag barrel instead. The Tupperware stock had to go and as I was doing this one as inexpensively as possible I bought a Boyd's tacticool stock for $125 shipped. I didn't even bed it just torqued the stock to 35 in/lb rear and 40 in/lb front and fully floated the barrel. Unfortunately the extractor didn't work properly (it was mentioned many of the magnum bolt faces have issues) had a sako extractor installed. Also added a timney as the original trigger was a recall. I put a picatinny on it with a Leupold. It shoots very accurately. In fact I shot it the last three weeks with just a few shots per visit. All three groups placed on top of one another are under 1/2 MOA. I found a SA BDL 700 on sale at Walmart two years ago. With the scope it was $349. Sold the scope for $20. I pulled the 7-08 barrel and replaced it with a 243 takeoff I rechambered to 6mm-284. It shot tiny clusters at 100 in the factory injection molded stock after barrel was full floated. I liked the tacticool stock so much that I got one for this package. No bedding and barrel full floated. I spent $575 on the LA magnum and $515 on the SA without the cost of the scopes. Sure I did my own barrel swaps as well as any chambering. This is inexpensive yet quite accurate. I will be hunting coues wt with the 7 mag this year. [/QUOTE]
