[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2425135, member: 30902"] Mitch the biggest problem you'll find with any mass produced rifle is poor or no bedding at all from the factory. Second, improperly torqued action screws. Whatever you buy, and I would not be afraid of a factory Remington these days although they aren't my choice, would be to have it floated, bedded, and at least a trigger job done on it before you even send the first round down range. Remington has had some issues over the years with QC, I unfortunately got one of the worst they ever let out the doors back in 77 but overall they have a very good reputation and are by far the most popular bolt action rifles ever produced in the US. There's also an endless aftermarket in Model 700 upgrades to be had. It's also the action most used in building custom rifles today whether that's a factory Remington action or one of the many 700 clones being put out by custom manufacturers. Any rifle you buy is going to come with a trigger set at the factory not by shooters but by liability lawyers so just keep that in mind and make sure you get buy one that can easily be replaced with an upgrade or easily adjusted and tuned by a good gunsmith. Once that's done, don't fool with it yourself unless you really know what you're doing, that's where people can get themselves into a lot of serious troubles. Most of the better selling branded rifles sold in the US today at least in the bolt action market are going to be capable of 1-1.5MOA right out of the box and a little tweaking and tuning in the hands of a good smith can improve on that substantially.
