Most Remington 700 rifles shoot well enough. It goes to show that the barrel rifling is not everything with regards to rifle accuracy. A custom barrel maker who has made a few barrels for me, once commented that due to a profound screw up, one of the lands in a barrel he made was straight as an arrow. He chambered the barrel and fired it, just to see what would happen. According to him the thing shot alright. Yet some of his prettiest barrels were not the tack drivers that common belief would suggest. It drives him batty too. I believe that stress relieving has a lot to do with how well a barrel shoots (kinking and unkinking as they heat up and cool down). The purity of the barrel steel also having a pronounced effect on the quality of the barrel.
