The Remington 700's I've had shoot great.  The triggers were heavy out of the box, but were fully adjustable.  Some guys that bought a lot of them say they got bad barrels, but you can't prove it by me...  :dunno: 
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

When Bernie Madoff did it, it's called a "Ponzi Scheme"
When Government does it, it's called "Social Security"

Well some of us are just pretty dang persnickety on hitting exactly where we aim, not somewhere thereabouts.

So we buy a tikka

The gun might help but sure doesn't make someone a good shot.  Right person behind the trigger can make dern near anyone rifle a real shooter.

Mine shot pretty darn good stock.  The only thing I didn't like was the stiff trigger.  Never missed any animal I was shooting at.  I did have some work done on it to make it more of a long ranger shooter 500+ and it is a fine shooting rifle now.

Here's a 300 yard group from a bone stock Remington 700 ADL, purchased from Bi-Mart on a 319.00 close out sale.

Pilot all jacked up on RedBull, frosted with a POS Leupold to boot. :tup: First Mulie it killed was at 302 yards, the second at 509 yards. Just goes to show, I like to send them to the smith but it's not a must. 8)

Got to LOVE those Accubonds! :tup:

I can't stand the chambering but a deals a deal. :chuckle:
