I have a semi-new remington 700 sps. The gun is not fully free floated, yet (with factory federal premium ammo) at 100 yards I can shoot one hole groups. Would you worry about making it 100% free floating, or working up a reload for it? Everything on this gun is out of the box. I mean it works great, should I still "fix" it or should i say improve it? At 300 yards (my zero range) the gun will clover leaf!

Re: remington 700 groups
Well if it ain't broke, fix it till it is.
Sounds like you got an out of the box winner, I know it is hard to resist upgrades and improvements. Maybe start with some good glass and take her out to 600Y.
Have fun

Re: remington 700 groups
No just shoot it the way it is if you are shooting one ragged hole at 100yd's .
I have seen people try and fix rifles like the one you mention and they nelly always end up screwing thing up , just shoot it and work out what you would like to do with it when you shoot it out in thousands of round's .

Work up the recipe and don't worry about floating. Good for you!

Re: remington 700 groups
is the 1 hole group after warm up or cold bore?

Re: remington 700 groups
You are saying your stock Rem SPS is clover leafing at 300 yds? I call major bullshit on this. Just where in AZ are you, and would you be willing to prove this. Your credibility is being called here, as in many of your other threads. Claiming you are an active sniper, and can clover leaf a stock SPS at 300. Please show us wrong....

Re: remington 700 groups
For the love of God why can't all you naysayers just accept it as fact and truth when someone comes on here and claims to be 'a sniper'????? Why? Why?
Where is the trust anymore? Can't we all just get along and believe what everyone on the internet says they can do or have done?
The name calling, the slanderous remarks, the request for 'proof', the horrid questioning of competency and fact by all the members who really have a clue.....I just can't take it anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I had an 'out of body experience' for a moment and was willing to believe that the majority of posters or posers are really not blatant liars and are indeed truthfull and as proficient as they claim despite their grammar, sentence structure and spelling suggesting otherwise!!!! HOWEVER, the good news......I AM BACK

Re: remington 700 groups
Straight up!! I have poor man setup, Remington 700sps in 308win and will shoot a ragged hole at 100 yards; but only after a new stock- cheap Houge over molded stock that found in bargain cave at cabelas for $180! Have another cheap 700 in 7mm mag, would not shoot under 4in group out of box without upgrades!

Re: remington 700 groups
I can't wait for the video of this cloverleaf at 300 yards with a stock Remington 700 SPS. I shoot with a guy with a stock SPS and I have not seen any better than 1.5 MOA groups. And, that was a very good day. Cloverleafs - I think not!

Im not saying anything but you shouldn't talk the walk
look brother i dont know nothing and honestly your not looking to good if you know what your talking about you wouldn't say what your saying. with out looking at any of your previous post the question about tracking your cold bore shots was a test, i already knew what your answer was going to be

Very Respectfully
The Newb
