[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2426120, member: 30902"] The problem is that with mass produced factory rifles it's always a crap shoot on whether you get a real shooter or not. Most can be made to shoot very well with a little floating and bedding and maybe an aftermarket trigger but it's still a crap shoot. My brother and I got 700bdl's literally off the same truck. His was an 06 mine a 7RM. In all other respects they appeared to be identical. These were made circa 1976. His was a dead shooter from day one, mine after five trips back to Remington still would not shoot and I was advised it never would by a very good gunsmith. He said I just got "the one", the one where the accumulation of tolerances produced a rifle that would never shoot no matter what we did for it and it was bored so far out of square the action was junk. With a custom rifle you have a reasonable expectation you'll never run into those problems and with a good builder a solid MOA or better guarantee. [/QUOTE]
