I want to share the results of a factory rifle that I have modified. First, I purchased a Remington 700 5r Mil-spec about a year ago. The rifle was great and would shoot nearly all match ammo under an inch and sometimes half inch with 3 shots. It was a great shooting gun.
However, I decided I wanted more. I debated selling the rifle and going full custom or just customizing the Remington. I opted to customize the Remington. First I purchased an AICS stock and replaced the factory HS stock. I shot the gun and it seemed to help. I then purchased a Jewell trigger. After having a friend mill the stock for the trigger I put it all together.
I took the rifle to the range today and it now shoots 5 shot groups under half an inch where before I would sometimes get 3 shots in half an inch.
Here is the rifle:
308 Remington 5r Mil-spec
AICS stock
Jewell Trigger
Bushnell Elite 6500 Tactical Scope
Thanks.
