Remmy 700 questions...?

[Quest84]

So here's the deal I have a 700 ADL LA in .270 with the standard sporter barrel. I'd like to keep it for nostalgic reasons as it was my fathers rifle in which he used to down many a whitetail. That being said I would like to make it a bit more of a tack driver at 0-300 yds. It will mostly be used for hunting so what do you guys think could be done to get this rifle up to par?

How does it shoot now? It's likely that a good cleaning, appropriate loads and maybe a trigger adjustment is all you need to shoot great out to 300yds.

I've got it very clean now and I adjusted the trigger down to a comfortable pull. It shoots well, about 1" groups @ 100yds. I would def like to get an aftermarket trigger unless you guys know of a way to make the 700 trigger stay where you adjust it (mine are unreliable at best). It seems to tighten up on me from season to season.

What loads are you using? Re-loads? If I had my dads rifle and it was shooting 1" or better at 100yds, I probably wouldn't change a thing. I have other rifles that I tinker with.
