Thread: Remington model 700 ss bdl dm

Bought this gun 25 years ago. Beautiful but a piece of s^&*t.
Always assumed I was a bad shot, But bought a new Tikka 6.5cm a couple of months ago and immediately put 6 rounds into .3 MOA.
So revisited the Remington 7mm08 (1999). The magazine had a 100% fail rate. Played with it until I finally worked out the magazine needed a slight mod using JB weld. Now working 100% successfully.
Accuracy. It was shooting 3-4 MOA with two contact points in the stock end. BUT. I found it also had a third point of contact halfway down the stock on the left had side. No wonder it was crap.
Now free floated full length. (no bedding yet)
Reinforced the supper flexible stock and added an DPT over barrel suppressor to reduce recoil.
Tried it this afternoon and bingo. First time in 25 years, 6 shots exactly 1MOA.

Feeling very pleased!!!!!
The gun was literally headed for the rubbish it was that bad. Not even sellable.
Now awesome.
Cheers
