Hello Skinny Shooter & Evan03,
My Remingtons are quite accurate now. I have quite a few Remingtons from the 80s, and boy are they sweet. The newer ones leave me non-plused. Back in the 80s we used to say Remingtons shoot great out of the box, while Savages can be made to shoot great with a little work. That seems to be reversed today. The $250. for glass bedding, barrel floating and trigger work does the job getting my Remingtons to shoot like I expect them to. I'm just not wild about spending the extra money on them, but I will until I can find something better. Maybe I'm expecting too much. If a heavy barreled varmint rig won't group under .5" (5 at 100yds.) I consider it a lemon. Maybe the older Remingtons spoiled me. Just one mans opinion. Best wishes. Cal - Montreal

I should have been more precise. I can't presently post pictures. My latest Remington, a model 700VLS in 6mm Rem. was grouping most smaller weight bullets at .07" (5 at 100yds). After having it worked on by a gunsmith it now shoots in the .3"s and .4"s. I'm happy with that. The rifle will definitely shoot now. I've experienced similar group reductions in my Remington Classic in 6.5x55, and a model 700 in .25-06. both having gone from .9" down to .6", but again requiring glass bedding, barrel floating and trigger work. The rifles are great platforms for making accurate. My reservation is with the extra money involved to reach a level I would consider normal. Enough of my ranting. Best wishes.
