The Rem 700 action is actually just a pipe, and when you put a good barrel in it, it is capable of pretty good accuracy even out of the box. Trick it out and it can make a real fine shooter, even for a sporting weight rifle.
Here a while ago, according to Woody at LW USA, Remington bought an order of several hundred Lothar Walther barrels from LW out of Germany, to fill a gap in orders. From what I understand, if you happen to get a 700 with one of those barrels you could have well won the out of the box accuracy lottery.  LW does not make designated match barrels, all of their barrels are match barrels. When I can get LW barrels, I use them in my custom 700 rifle builds.Ed

I have noticed that, while shooting at a public range, that quite a few groups people shoot are significantly larger than 1 inch @100 yards. They must not be shooting those Internet rifles.
 Handloads help, usually, as does tuning the rifle. But, before you start tuning, try the rifle out - sometimes they do shoot out of the box.

The problem with the Swedes is that they are all used and in various bore conditions. If you happen to get one with a bad or worn bore it may not shoot at all. But a good Swede should shoot about 1-1.5 inches at 100 with its open sights. If your rifle is all original, it should have a brass disk on the right side of the butt stock that shows the bore dimensions. If you go to the Swedish Mauser page at Chuckhawks.com m-96, it describes how to read the disk.
Ed If you want to sell that worn out old Swede, let me know about price.
