They claim that the Remington is the best, most accurate out of the box gun you can buy for the money. I have two 700's that I constantly use, a mountain rifle and an older 20" carbine, both in 30-06 and find them extremely accurate. And that's using factory and military surplus ammo.

I have a Model 70 Featherweight Classic in 7mm-08. It will easily put 3 shots into 1.5 inches at 100 yards. I shot a small buck in 2000 with it at 300+ yards, one shot with 130 Speer boattail. Mine works just fine.

Best way to go is get a Remington and restock it the way you like. I sure like my Rems.
By the way, I spent a couple of days in Idaho not too far from
Halfway-Pine Creek, Oregon. Met a guy out there that owns Hells Canyon Service, his name is Scotty. Had to show him how to fix a rifle while I was there. Hell of a guy.

the .270 was in a bigsky roof mount gun rack along with a marlin 336 30-30 when it was hit broad side by another pickup at 50 mph both gun flew out of the rack,broke the stock of my 336...i figure it screwed up my .270 also, so i looked over good then shot it and it still would shoot a 3 shot group at 100 yds that the head of the shell would just cover...not to bad i would think. the 243 will do as good also.
I also have a 300 mag but really have seen what it can do yet but its not to bad of a shooter from what little i have shot it
but i kinda have a liking of winchesters rifles
I do have a smith& wesson mod 1500 (aka howa) that shoots like crap though.
I dont give my guns without somebody getting hurt!
I just wish I had a dollar for every gun I wanted, then I'd be a rich man.
