Rem 700 SPS accuracy upgrades

[DIM]

Rob, you not the only one, this year I saw 700 SPS shooting 1/2 MOA with original unmodified stock. I was just amazed how accurate it was right out of the box!

I have read quite a few times that there is a reson Remington puts those barrel pressure buttons at the forend of the stock. One trip to the range there was another fellow shooting a very nice custom built $4,000 rifle. He came over to look at my as he was looking through his spotting scope at my target. I said I was trying to decide on the stock I wanted to change to. He asked if the stock was comfortable to me, to which I replied "yes". He then said don't blow the money as I am already getting close to .5moa. He then told me how his stock SPS shoots very close to his custom built rifle.

I believe too many people are quick to jump into changing this and that. How many posters come on her showing off their new purchase and saying they have this and that ordered for it, and they still haven't even fired a shot through it.

Me! Oh wait, I don't even have mine due to the 10-day wait yet. I'm changing the stock straight off because the Tacticool Look is oh so Last Year. Went for a nice wood stock.

I'm thinking to change my B&C A2 to wood looking laminate from Bobby Hart, the one with accublock http://www.stockysstocks.com/catalog/hartA10.jpg

Word.


Work up some handloads for it. You might find it needs nothing but ammo. My Model 70 HBV in .308 shot 1/4" 5 shot groups when I first bought it. Try working something up with 175 gr Sierra MatchKings and Varget or IMR 4895. If it can't shoot under one MOA with that combination I doubt it's the rifle.

OK, I can understand wanting to go to a laminate stock. I really like the looks of the pepper laminate.
