Default RE: Rem. 700 or Browning A-Bolt

In response to Rammer. Yes you are correct. The A-bolts are glass bedded. But that doesn't mean it wasdone right. The factory bedding left a bit of 'play' in the action and a bit more bedding was needed to have it lay in the stock correctly. Once that was done, the rifle shot great.
Like my original posts stated. I own Remingtons, Brownings and Savages. And for consistant 'out of the box' accuracy - even with the less than ideal stocks, the Savages win. Now the Brownings, after the work, shoot on par with them. My one Remington, a 700 BDL in 270 which I bought in the early 70's will out shoot all of them. This rifle has shot 3/8" 5 shot groups.
