[QUOTE="TK 1985, post: 1537771, member: 92618"] I did torque all my screws as soon as it got out of the box, one of the types of ammo was a few different variations of handloads to try and see what it likes after the factory ammo was used to sight in, I was using a rifle basix trigger off a lead sled. I don't know what else I could have done to see how the rifle shoots out of the box. I know rifles settle in sometimes, still unacceptable. Especially when I can get a cheap T/C or something with a 1 MOA guarantee. I already built a custom 6.5 creedmoor last year off a blueprinted action and a Douglas barrel, I haven't even loaded for it yet because it shoots through the same hole with Hornady Precision Hunter ammunition. I also have more invested in that rifle. I wanted a .300 win mag for longer range, and I understand standard 700's aren't all that special. But this was billed as a higher quality build out of the box; stock, barrel, etc... and that is what has me peeved. I do own a gun shop and do custom Cerakote work, this experience right here has it so I will advise against buying a Remington product, or anything from Freedom Group to anybody who walks through my door. Oh and this was the second issue, before I went the range I was torquing the screws I loosened them and retightened. I sheared one of the stock screws off 4 threads in with only 3 fingers on the screwdriver and they had to send me another. So it was almost a month after getting the rifle I found out it shot worth crap. [/QUOTE]
