I have been buying Remington rifles since 1967. The last one I bought that I have used quite a bit was a 2002 model 700. The first group out the barrel was under 4/10 inch at 100 yards. Thats what I expect from a 700.
Out of 25 or so they have all deliverd. Now My Sako rifles shoot well but I will never again pay that kind of money for a rifle that in the field will not outperform a 400.00 Remington. The last one I bought was a few weeks ago when I picked up a new 270 700 ADL Synthetic for 329.00 on close out. I have not shot it yet but I will bet that it shoots under one inch the first time out. Those are three shot groups which is all I ever use to test a hunting rifle. I hear a few bad things about Remington quality but so far I have not seen it yet. If I ever do then I might knock them too.

Of course I don't give a hang about fancy and pretty. I expect dependability and accuracy. The guys at Remington have always provided just that. By reading the poll on this site, I see that I am far from the only Remington supporter here. Good Luck with your new selection. When I shoot the new 270, good or bad I will post the results.
