Not exactly a minor tweak to a new rifle, surely? I have had to recrown an 1893 model Marlin .....made in 1906..

For what reason did you have a new rifle recrowned

Take a look at the rimfire magic website, the reason they recrown all remmington 700's is they have found that the factory crowning is sometimes off centre and would badly affect accuracy.
They appear to have taken the decision that it is easier to recrown them all than miss a bad one, it is a very minor modification that will ensure the bullet leaves the barrel in a consistent way.
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

Glad your happy with it. I have a .308 700 with a 20inch barrel sitting in an AICS stock. Changed the factory SPS stock straight after I bought the rifle to fully float the barrel, never looked back. As with the comments about the .223 accuracy, mine is an easy 1 MOA shooter at 600m using 168gr SMK. Its quite heavy in this stock, but helps with the accuracy.
A lot of people have personal gripes with Remington 700, including our local gun dealer, but I love them.

Hi all, i have a Remington 700 vs with 26" barrel. Im fairly new to civvi shooting and did a lot of research and looking around before i decided what rifle to get. I knew from the time of my application that i wanted a .308 for long range work. Licence finally arrived and i got myself the Remington.
I also bought a Vortex hst scope and matched rings. The rifle comes with the HS precision stock and i added a bipod. The very first outing i zero'd it then shot a 1/2 moa group at 300yds!! I was using 168gr amax handloads.
I have to say that i am very impressed with the performance of this rifle straight out if the box. The inly things im looking to change at the moment are the scope rings to lower the scope a bit and a muzzle brake to keep me on target a bit better between shots!!
