The most bang for the buck in accurizing Rem 700s is to adjust the trigger and to pillar-bed the action and a couple of inches up the barrel channel. Also, free-float the barrel if it's not already floating. Make the clearance more like 1/16" than the old dollar-bill test.
The most important things to watch when bedding is to be sure to put tape under and ahead of the recoil plate and to use plenty of release compound.
For beginners, I recommend Acraglas Gel, but there are lots of other good bedding compounds. Read the instructions carefully! If you don't have one, buy a Dremel Moto-Tool and a 1/8" router bit to do the prep.
For most shooters, blueprinting the action is a waste of money!!!!!
