duey Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 Generally a tactical rifle is heavier all round, Stock as well as barrel Heavier contour barrels are usually more accurate because they are more stable and react to heat less quickly therefore allowing the accuracy to be maintained for a longer string of shots unlike sporing profile barrels which may well start off as accurate but as the barrel gets hotter then the zero will start to shift and in some case by as much as a couple of inches at a hundred yards higher end remmingtons have better stocks than say the BDL and shoot very well out of the box, I would recommend that you get either a Jewel or Timney trigger fitted asap or have a gunsmith at least give the remmy trigger the once over as they can be improved on. If you want to improve the rifle even more then a Remmy 700 is an excellent starting point with loads of aftermarket goodies readily available Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tulkyuk Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 My Sako has more delicacy and finesse but all 3 of the Remingtons I have had, have been "shooters" and if you ask tullyuk, maybe he will back me up? Yep - his remmy was shooting fine on sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
