[QUOTE="jakes10mm, post: 866419, member: 28011"] My first Remington 700's were bought within the last 2 years and I have no complaints. First was a 300 Win Mag Cabela's special on clearance that prints 3/4" groups at 100yds. Recently took it to a 200/300/500yd Ground Hog shoot and pleased with the results (my first shooting at 500yds). After the match, threw a few rounds at their 1054yd 31" plate. Seemed plenty accurate; realized that 3-9x optics are marginal for 1000+ yards. Second Rem 700 was another Cabela's Special edition in 30-06 (decision based on the performance of the 300). This rifle is printing 1/2" groups at 100yds straight from the box. Haven't bedded and floated this rifle yet.....winter project. Third Rem 700 is a 1988 Classic in 35 Whelen. New in the box; favorite gun shop bought it from the "investor" who collected the yearly Classic models. The factory lube in this rifle had hardened from sitting. We cleaned it before leaving the shop. Have only had this rifle to the range twice. First visit was at 50yds to sight in the scope. First two shots out of this "new rifle" were touching. I was at Cabela's this week and asked one of the gun counter associates which brand they sells the best. His answer was Savage. He added that the new Remingtons were "junk" and he wouldn't buy one. He did say that he'd love a 700 action with a Savage barrel. Overall, I've been happy with recent rifles I have owned. The market has raised the bar on out-of-the-box accuracy. I have not had any issues with Remington, Winchester, Savage or Ruger rifles. [/QUOTE]
