Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Remington Fans New 700’s….

I picked up a new RemArms 700 Long Range 300 Win Mag on sale for $767.00.The HS stocks retail for around $425.00,so I found it hard to pass on the deal.The Timney trigger is OK,it breaks crisp at around 3.5lbs,but I prefer around 2.5lb trigger.The barrel looked great on the inside with my borescope.I took it to the range and fired twelve rounds through it running a patch with Stabil CLP,followed by two dry patches after each round.It grouped good for test loads.This was the last nine of the first twelve rounds through the rifle with two different loads.I checked the barrel again when I got home and was surprised to find no copper streaks at all inside the barrel.I had read that 5R barrels seemed to copper fowl less,don't know,maybe they don't.
