Thread: Remington model 700 ss bdl dm

They were honest with the later version the SPS (shitty plastic stock). I took mine out of the plastic junk and bolted it into a HS Precision alloy bedding block off a 700P and instant tightening of the groups. Went from about 7" down to 3/4" just with the handle change...

The 700 action seems to be extremely sensitive to bedding, I chucked that rifle into a synthetic stock (I think urethane not sure what brand it is) and it went back to about 2" at 100m. Good enough for most purposes but still have to actually bed the thing properly. I'll make up some alloy pillars and bed them in with Devcon and then do a full bedding job on it. Will be interesting to see how that works. If that doesn't improve it I've got a factory mountain rifle stock there, I mod that up for the DM mag release and see how it likes them apples.

I've never known any issues with the mags on this rifle, works fine every time and I have 3 mags for it.
