[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 353147, member: 307"] shooters, To start out with a level playing field, most all mfg's turn out a "not so stellar performer" every now and then. I have owned several Rem 700's, all heavy barreled job's. A couple were the 700 Varmint Special from the 60-70's era. One a .22-250, one a .243. I've owned a Varmint Synthetic in .22-250 and 3 Sendero's; one in .25-06 (Sendero SF), one in 7mmRM and one in .300WinMag (both 1st generation). I now own a 700 Police in 7mmRM. I have owned four Savages. A "J" Series in .308, two FP's; one in 7mmRM and another in .223. I now own a 112BVSS in .300WinMag. All of these rifles shot quarter inch groups at one time or another. Everytime? no. Definately not. All the barrels went through a break-in routine, when I had them and they all went through load development to find what they liked best. The 700 triggers were all adjusted to an acceptable (2-2.5lbs) level, except for the 700P, it's trigger has been replaced with a Shilen.
