Default RE: Remington 700 police

I have had two. I myself do not like them. Funny its taken two 700P's to finally convince myself, I do not like the huge palm swell. In fact, not sure if I really love the H-S stock. First one 300RUM had the roughest barrel you could imagine. Had it rebarreled with a Krieger, then didn't like the stock, so I sold it and got a different H-S stock. This is the only remington trigger, I couldn't get all the creep out of. So I replaced the trigger. Finally, it was a gun I was proud of that shot subMOA at even 500 yards. Second one didn't last long. It was a 308win, shot ok, but found a different girl to buy. At 600 rounds, I was lucky to get 7" groups. Another thing, this 308, didn't appear to be centered nicely in the stock forarm. In other words wasn't freefloated evenly.

Do yourself a favor, look up FN SPR. Finest tactical long range gun you can buy without having one built. I have shot 50 rounds one day, and there was almost no copper fouling with the chrome linedbarrel.The 700P's I had, I would have to spend 1 hour just pulling out the copper after a heavy long range shooting session. Also the FN carries a guarantee, and let me tell you, they honor it. My buddy has a 308. He was having trouble getting coreloks shooting out of it. Well, he called the place wehre they are made in Fredericksburg, VA, and they told him to run down. He went down (about an hour drive) and the head developer, actually a marine himself, sat down with him and shot some blackhills and bam, it was driving tacks sub.5MOA. Told him no coreloks. This guy has a test rifle, he has shot a documented 16000 rounds thru, and still subMOA.
