Remington 700 in .308Win

[PeterPan]

Which Remington 700 you guys find particularly accurate in .308Win, in either barrel twist? It is not for hunting, more for precision shooting.

Thanks

700p , I do find that Ted Gaillard makes A wonderful 4 groove .308 barrel with 13 twist rifling. It amazing with 150-168 grain bullets.

It's gotta be the 700VS or the 700P. I went through 2 VS barrels on my 700VS, and they averaged .5moa groups with 154 Scenars, 175 SMk's, 165 SST's, and 168 SMK's. I then screwed on a lightly used 700P barrel. Have only shot 154 Scenars, and they are grouping just under .5moa. I am using handloads.

I know the VS barrel is 1 in 12 twist, but not sure about the 700P.

Best shooting Rem in 308 I've ever owned was a 40X. - dan

I would go with Dan B's 40X or a 26'' 700P...The Rem 700LTR is fine for shorter ranges

I have two 700Ps in the house now, as well as a Frankenrifle made up with an early 700 receiver and a 40X barrel, none of them shoot as well as that first 40x. They're all cheaper though. Personally I would blueprint an action and have a good barrel fitted to it, with a match chamber if that's your interest, then bed it into an HS or McM stock. You won't have spent much more money, and I bet it shoots better then any of the factory offerings. - dan

My 700 VLS in .308 can group cast bullets into 1/2" if I do everything right. I will however, adjust the trigger or buy an aftermarket one.
