Just curious what kind of groups are you guys getting with yours. I'm hoping for 3 in. groups at 100 yds. If I can get that I'll keep it for my Son to shoot during our Blackpowder season here in Mo. If not I'll sellorswap it out for one of the newer rifles. Tom

The 700's I have owned were shooters, though one was picky. They would all group 2" or better when finding their likes. My remaining 700 MLS likes 90gr T7 ffg/240 XTP or 105gr T7 ffg/250SST, if i do my part itwill hold a 1" group at 100.

Like skeeter said if I do my part shooting a 3" 100 yard target should not be a problem.

This is fromthe older 700ml and my other shoots just a good...

I'm really looking forward to seeing what this Remington will do with the new Gold Dots and the new sabots.

RE: 209 Conversion Kit

Just got back from the range with the Remington. Everything went ok. The conversion kit worked out finewithout any problems. It was shooting 1 1/2 groups at 50 yds.I wasn't able to get on the 100 yd range because of all the new toys being shot, so it will be awhile before I find out what it will do at 100yds. I had to use federal 209a primers because that was about all I could get so I'll try to pick up a few different types to see if that makes any difference along with some different sabots just in case the groups aren't what I'm looking for.
