Thread: New to shooting remington 700 rifles

I have a M700 stainless with the plastic SPS stock in .308 win. I have used it for approx 8 years. It shoots 1" groups with both 150 grain Hornady SST and Remington core lokt. I did install a timney trigger and have thought one day I will upgrade the stock but it shoots so consistently good I have just left it alone. The major advantage of a Rem 700 is all they want aftermarket parts and accessories that are available for it. I can't fault my rifle as I have killed many deer and hog with it. Its a simple production rifle that works.....it is not in terms of craftsmanship a superb rifle like the German Sauers etc but its performance in practical terms will serve a person just as well....I like the stainless Remington particularly in bad weather. Mine has been wet and abused for eight years and it holds up very well to rough weather.
