Remington 40X
- Thread starter mic007tfp

Well, the stock, the barrel, the fine trigger, and a lot of careful fitting and workmanship. Plus the 40-XB is a single shot to provide greater rigidity in the action.
All that being said, I have seen 700s straight out of the box that would shoot with the best 40-XBs.

Jim, I hope you held on to those 700s!
You pay more for the above mentioned items and you don't even get a safety! You can, or could get a 2oz trigger. I do not own a 700 in .223 but I do own a 40XBBR. With an outdated Tasco #708 20x40 scope it will still wear out the same hole all day long at 100 yards with it's pet loads. No flyers, no "I pulled that one" no problem. Mine is old so I can't comment on what is coming out now but if Remington is still doing the job and you want a very accurate rifle it's worth the money.
It's over accurate for hunting and plinking
but what the heck are toys for.
Good Shooting, Hank

Hi, Hank,
As you know, sometimes a regular factory rifle, maybe one out of a thousand, just seems to "work". The next serial number won't shoot "deer huntin" groups. With a true target rifle, the odds go the other way and maybe more so. The 40 series ain't cheap, but it beats buying a thousand or ten thousand guns and testing them.
