yea but what do you consider shooting great?? even with the barrel to receiver mating surface not being true a rifle can still possibly shoot 1" to 2" at 100 yards. some guys are happy with that and apparently remington considers that acceptable.... but look at your brass are your cases expanded evenly around the web or is there a slight buldge to one side? a slight buldge to one side is a major indicator the barrel to receiver mating is not true. and thats what both my barreled actions were doing. IMO this is unacceptable for what I paid for them. A rifle that I have been real impressed by are the Howas the quality of their barreled actions is second to none asfar as commercially produced rifles go. the barrel to action is perfect out of the box. maybe remington can learn something from them.
