Hey guys,
Welcome a new noob to the site! Well I am here to ask for discussion on a new rifle I am thinking of buying. I am not new to shooting but am thinking of moving from the realm of hunting rifles to a mainly target rifle. As of now my main gun is a Rem 700SPS chambered in .270 Win. Needless to say this gun shoots well, but not as good as I think it should. I have shouldered more pricey rifles and have had sub MOA accuracy. Im not saying I am the best shooter, but I know it is achievable. I have been reloading and the .270 has become more accurate, but not consistent (regardless of what I try).
With that said I am looking at a Rem 700P. This is a gun chambered in .308 with a 26” barrel. It is priced currently at 750 out the door. My questions are should I expect sub MOA with this rifle, better long range accuracy, and how well is the fit and finish (would I need to change the stock, have a new one rebedded etc.)?
I think I could get the .270 more accurate by buying a new stock and trigger along with some smith work, but is it worth it to put money in that or move to another rifle that is better out of the box and build from that?
All input is so appreciated, thanks so much guys.
