So, I have a new rifle that shoots dead on for actually $180. My 15 yo shot it off the bench yesterday at 325 yards and had a 4" group 4"'s high with a pos remington scope. To me, this gun was worth it all day long even at the original price. But the 308 he bought was a totally different story. Thats why I posted this warning....

i have the Dick's SPS varmint in 22-250...
it is a SHOOTER... yes the stock is cheesy...and the scope mounts are garbage (mine were stripped from the factory as well) that doesnt matter...i got a brand new m700 that shoots for a very good price...stock can be changed and you'd never know it was a "cheap gun" and its a m700 action...parts and accessories can be had easily..... i havent heard of any that didnt shoot great...and i know a handful of guys with the same rifle as me....i bought new rings and bases immediately...then put a VX II 6-18x40 AOT on it... best shot to date is a 350yd headshot on a groundhog... |

IMHO opinion the word "cheap" is a warning in itself. |

Well, I am going to stretch this gun out as far as I can just to see what it does. I think far to often people get way to wrapped up in "optics".. how long my scope last, I don't know. but when it's time to replace the scope I might up grade a little bit but I doubt it will be over 150-200 scope.

I don't see the issue here, flimsy stocks can be replaced, as well as crappy scopes, bases and rings, the 700 action in any variation is a solid platform and one that is very easy to customize due to widely available parts and accessories, nothing "cheap" about it at all.
