All this hating on Remington 700s

Brand vs brand is bogus.

My software must be broke ... it says something like 3+ MOA ...

Oh yeah, 100 yard "I shoot sub-MOA all day long" challenge PART 2 is back up on Snipers Hide:

Brand vs brand is bogus.

How is that?

I had a oef oif vet who had the .30 cal necklace on tell me something interesting about sub moa guns, he could hand a true state of the art sub moa rifle to a standard infantryman and it's not guaranteed to deliver sub moa groups for that solder. Whatever you have sub moa or not you got to spend some time sitting behind it.

 

[MrShooter]

How is that?

Because most opinions are from successful marketing techniques or forum hearsay/owner bias. Not all, but a good enough amount to say its bogus. Not just pertaining to bolt actions, all guns these days. Atleast that's my opinion.

I have a M-40,a AAC-SD (I think that's what it's called),a AAC Micro 7,and a PLT. All have been very accurate out to 100 yds. Our 300 yd range isn't finished yet but,when it is I'll see what they'll do at 300 yds. So far most of them will out shoot my SSG-69.

All my 700s shoot sub MOA at 200 yards...including my $350 ADLs. I've only shot my PSS past that and it held MOA fine. This Brand X vs. Brand Y stuff is a waste of time. It's the indian not the arrow. Buy a good gun, work up a good load and spend a bunch of time behind the trigger.

Cooper is no better than Remington? Surgeon, GAP, Accuracy International are all on par with Marlin, Winchester, Savage, etc...? Why would people competing at a high level waste their money on anything more expensive than a Stevens?

I would consider all of the names I mentioned to produce "good" guns, but some are better than others. Brand X and Brand Y should always be part of the decision making process when purchasing / building a new rifle.

I'm not a fan of the remington finish. It rusts very very easily. My 700 AAC-SD I had back in 2010 would outshoot me. But, I didnt have it for very long and I never shot it outside 100 yards.

And is always part of the bragging contests...
