With reloads it got down to constant .4-.5" groups at 100 yards, which is 1/2MOA.
That said, it's no way I'd buy a new Remington, but that's just my opinion.
Agree that 1 moa is not overly impressive (but its very good), and it sounds like your gun is a real shooter. A guy in our hunting camp bought a 700 ADL (the cheap one) a few years ago in .270. With nothing done to it at all and factory remington core lokt ammo, it shot a .6" group at 100yds. I couldn't believe it. My gun will do that, but I've had trigger work and shoot handloads. Just goes to show you that it doesn't matter the make/model....some guns are shooters. Others, you can work on em till kingdom comes to get a MOA shooter.
