This is my oldest Remington 700, its a BDL chambered in the 338 Win. Mag. with a Leupold scope, it will consistently shoot under 1" groups at 100 yards and it is 21 years old, barrel code KK, made May 1990. My newest is less than a year old and will do the same, I do not see ANY accuracy issues with Remington, old or new!
