Hey guys,
Looking for some advice in the event I have to rebarrel my rifle for an upcoming sheep hunt.
I have a fairly cherry Remington 700 TI, Gen 1, in 300 saum. Even with the stock, sandy feeling trigger, I have the gun grouping 4 shot, 2.25" groups at 200yds with factory ammo(1" at a 100yds). That is including the cold bore shots. I am thinking I need a 500yd gun for AK sheep. I have to travel a little bit to get to a 500yd shooting range so I have yet to test it at longer distances.
I am replacing the trigger immediately which in my experience, will definitely tighten up groups. In the event that I cant get it to shoot good enough at longer distances, what barrel do you guys recommend for this gun???? Anyone one have experience with the Rem 700 TI. I have no experience with rebarrels and there are a lot of manufacturers out there. Stainless and fluted would be the starting point.
Appreciate the info,
Dan
