the new 700
I own and hunt with REmington 300 wm BDL model. Out ofthe box
it is very acurate.I have taken an elk with it, a buffalo.
the BDL is pretty. I can't imagine doing anymore to it.
I have a Leupold 3.5 x 9 vari III on it.The elk went down the first shot like a ton of bricks.that kind of money .
Maybe you should from scratch and build a custom rifle./
Shilen barrell,richards custom stock.New action...stuff like that.
that way you'll be spending a lot of money. and while you're at
it join the NRA...
