Default RE: remington's 3" accuracy guaranty

For those of you considering a purchase of the "most accurate out of the box rifle" you ought to know that remington won't even consider a repair if groups are less than 3." I've spent more than a year working up loads and trying different factory ammo and it shoots 3 shot 21/2" to 4" groups--I mean patterns. Remington customer service actually suggested to me that that was more than enough accuracy. Unless you want to keep your local gunsmith busy, better stear clear of big green if 3" groups are not acceptable to you!

What Model???? because if its a model 710 aka economy throw around, good enough for hunting and thats about it gun. I really wouldnt complain, for that model 3" at 100 yards is acceptable especially for hunting........

I have a M700 Mountain Rifle BDL in 308 win. With remington express core lokts I get .5" to 1" at 100 yards. with my handloads I get nothing more then .5" at 100 yards.

something tells me its the shooter not the gun......................... unless its a 710
