[QUOTE="Sargesniper, post: 856339, member: 61726"] Nice shooting, I just bought a Rem. 700 Varmint in .308 and hope to begin it's transfomation soon. Will do away with the stock and trigger to start. May take a while but i am patient. I couldn't pass up the price for a new rifle that was at Cabellas for the same price that Brownells wants for the action alone. As far as i can tell the quality of the barrel and receiver are the same as the ones i have gotten in the past. I got the ADL model. The stock and the trigger guard are a joke at best. The last Rem. i bought had an H&S precision stock but the cost was higher also. Seems like they would at least use some sort of metal for the trigger guard though. The bore seemed pretty smooth while cleaning it. I will do a good bit of polishing on the bore before breaking in. All in all, the quality of barrel and receiver are on par with the older ones. Maybe a few corners were cut but it seems like a sound rifle to me. ............... Larry [/QUOTE]
