My only experience came when I bought my first Remington over a year ago. It was a stainless/synthetic with the detachable box magazine, in 30.06. After carefully breaking in the barrel, the best 100 yard group I could get was 2 3/8". Well, for all the RemHype about accuracy, this would not do. (I was still kicking myself in the butt for getting rid of my Browning Stainless Stalker in .270. 1/2 moa w/ reloads, and 3/4 moa with two different factory loads, and it was never touched by a 'smith). So I took it to a 'smith and had them float the barrel, re-cut and true the crown, lap the lugs and polish the bolt face, and smoothed the trigger to 2.5 lbs (about 250.00 for all this), the dang thing still would not shoot. Best group at 100 yds after all that was 1.75" Accurate enough for hunting sure, but not what it should have been. Sold it quick and waiting to buy another Browning. Been thinking about the Savage though.
