I have one of their .223 tactical models that yesterday shot a 50 metre 0.25 inch group so it certainly does no harm to recrown a new barrel
Ah right..... I have a rem 700 too in .223 flavour.....
It's the most boring rifle I own and I blame baz for selling me it many years ago.
The bloody thing groups bullet on bullet at 110 yds and within 10mm at 200 if I do my job.
God I hate the bloody thing lol
