I bought one in .308 last Friday night. Scoped it and broke in the barrel on Saturday. Got some load development to do but it shot great right out of the box. How can you beat a 26" heavy barreled Rem 700 for the price???
So far I love mine. Going to turn it into a tactical type rifle and play at long ranges.

It's either going to be an A5 or an M40A-1. It's a hard decidion.
I bought the same gun you just bought in 22-250 put a nikon 6 by 18 by 40 with side focus on it.Shot a lot of differnt loads thru it and the seria varmit bullets in 55grs with varget powder shot by far the best can put three in a dime at 100 yards.And the coyotes groundhogs and crows have yet to complain.
Ill be sure to let you guys know how it shoot,it'll be the weekend beforei get to do anything with it.As of right know im hopeing that the scope that came with it will do fine,if not ill probly get a leupold.I gave $449 at dicks for mine,but thats with a $50 mail in rebate.solodren said:

wow great price the guy didnt say it had a rebate.. that scope might do for a while good luck with it... I checked walmart today and the 700 varmint they had was 635...
Wow thats a big difference!You have to watch the sales guys,they tried to cheat me out of my scope and my rebate until i had to remind them as i was walking out.solodren said:

cecil been trying to figure out does that 700 have an adj trigger the web site didnt say, I forgot to ask ,, and the other day my buddy asked and the salesman didnt know .. would appreciate the info thanks...
The manuel says not to make adjustments to the trigger or trigger assymbly.It say to send it back to the factory to have it done.So im guessing that it is,but they don't want you to do it on your own.I like the trigger the way it is.Its not to bad.

Really am waiting to see how it shoots I may have to try a Remy one more time at that price if I wasn't happy with it I could do a rebarrel.They come in 223?
Triggers in a 700 are very easy to adjust with a allen wrench and some fingernail topcoat. You just have to make sure you dont get it to light or it will fire on its own lol Now if it has the Xmark trigger, then I know nothing about those.

thanks cecil and steve I talked to my friend yesterday and he found out it was but to have it done by a gunsmith.. It is the x trigger stone..
I shoot mine this past weekend just to sight the scope in,granted i only sighted it in at 50 yards(thats all my back yard will allow me to) It shot very well.You could cover all shots with a quarter.Probly could of done better if i had a better vise.Tikkabuck said:

I just read that the X-Trigger is factory adjustable only is that true? How could that be ?
