Howdy! I'm starting to get into building rifles and I have a question I've been juggling for awhile now, and my usual second opinion is away in the Navy, so here I am. I have a cheapo Remington 700 SPS/ADL and as it stands, the accuracy it has produced is sub-par. It's got the crappiest stock I've really ever seen on a modern rifle, it wasn't broken in properly at all, and I was wondering if it'd be worth upgrading, or should I start from scratch on, say, a Savage platform? The Remington is a .270 Win with a Nikon Prostaff 4-12x x 40 on it. Just wondering what the opinion is by shooters and builders much more experienced than I. Thanks!
