[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1260742, member: 10291"] I also own Rem 700 Milpecs and they are all exceptional shooters out of the box. For some, the varmint weight barrel is on the heavy side for a hunting rifle that will be carried. If your primary purpose is hunting I would take a look at the Savage Long Range Hunter which I have also owned for several years. Accuracy is also superb, better trigger, plus a muzzle brake and adjustable cheek piece. The heavy sporter barrel is nicely balanced and will save a couple of pounds making it manageable if carried, but still capable of providing a stable platform for long range shooting. This rifle can likely be bought for a couple of hundred less then the Milspec, particularly if you add the cost to replace the Remington Mark X trigger. [/QUOTE]
