Default RE: remington model 760

I had one in 280 Remington. This is probably one of the most accurate rifles that I've ever owned. It will hold its own with any bolt gun on the market. The triggers are sloppy, that is my only complaint. The forearm on my rifle is tight and doesn't make any noise. I used this rifle primarily for feral hog hunting off of a mule for several years. I once installed a 6.5-20 Leupold and I had an old box of Remington 120 gr. Hollowpoints that are no longer available. The first three shots went into 3/8" of an inch. I thought it was one of those accassional groups you get when you're having a lucky day. I continued to fire until I had shot the entire box. I never fired a group that exceeded 1". Talking to many others at the gun club with the same rifle in different calibers excellent accuracy is the case. I think the barrel being free floated is one of the aspects that make this rifle accurate.
