I have a REM 700 SPS in 30-06 that has always shot decent enough (1”-1 1/2”) groups. I want to make it more accurate. Could I use the same action and put a good barrel (Proof research) and bed it in a better stock? I already have a Timney trigger installed which shoots better than the heavy factory trigger. Is the SPS action worth rebarreling in terms of accuracy since it’s a cheaper model of the 700? I’ve always thrown around the idea of sanding the pressure points off in the stock to free float the barrel but have heard mixed advice on if it’ll help or hurt with sporter weight barrels. Thanks guys.
