reviews indicate its a nice rifle with relatively tight grouping from the factory.

My cousin purchased one in .204 Ruger. Needed to be bedded and free floated before it shot well. Shot OK out of the box but responded to bedding and free floating by a great margin. Going from an 1.25" gun to a .625" gun with no other changes. Trigger broke clean at 3.75 lbs. Gun liked the 40 gr. factory V-Tip better than the 32 gr. V-Tip.

from what I have HEARD and READ they are accurate rifles. Not the prettiest, but supposedly very good guns. never shot one of those models.

i bought one of these for my wife in .308 we shoot hornady tap fpg 168gr .82 from the factory. if you could not hold a very good group perhaps your bullett weight was too heavy the vtr has a 1 in 12" twist rate only suitable for 168gr and under.

I bought a 700 sps with that new x pro mark trigger this summer and I did not like the trigger at all, I hate to say. Unlike the old trigger it is not adjustable for overtravel and sear engagement and I could only get the trigger pull down to about 5lbs(damn gun co. lawyers!) so I sold it a few weeks later on gun broker.

I love my other(pre x promark) 700 but you might want also check out weatherby or savage varmit rifles. JMHO
