[QUOTE="CA48, post: 1419933, member: 21446"] If you do decide to use the 700 go ahead and have it trued and then if the smith and barrel maker did thier job there is a garentee it will shoot. If you don't your taking a big risk and luck will decide it. No two 700 receivers will be the same when it comes to tolerances and squaresness. There is no garenteed measurable amount of improvement in MOA terms. Some may be closer to square then others but from what I have seen Remington's quality control is non existent unless maybe you buy a mil spec 5r model. That being said I have owned and done minor work to many friends 700s. Some shoot by just adding a bedding job and trigger and some don't. But I would say the chances are not in your favor, more luck. If you want an affordable rifle that will shoot with accuracy close to a custom gun from the factory with just a bedding job buy a savage or a tikka. Both come with great triggers and if you buy a $10 yo Dave spring the factory tikka trigger can get down to 12oz. The tikka a has the shortest bolt throw and will be the smoothest by far. [/QUOTE]
