Scope could be problematic... the mount appears to be remington factory mount, and the scope seems to move in the rings when it fires! I would need a badger or something but dont have the money... the scope itself is a leupold variX II 39-x40mm.

Your scope has a 1" tube. Your rings are probably 30mm which would account for the movement. You need new 1" rings (or 30mm with inserts) and they don't have to be Badgers unless you want to spend the big bucks. The base and rings
must be secured with
blue loktite or you'll never have a solid mount.
Oh one more thing, the trigger on a stock 700 is too heavy, but it seems the screws are locked with epoxy, how do I get the epoxy off?

Go to
www.snipercountry.com/RemingtonTriggers.htm and follow the directions exactly. You should be able to reset your trigger in less than 45 minutes to break cleanly at 3 pounds. Stock Remingtons usually break around 8 pounds.
Besides the tools mentioned in the article, you'll need a trigger pull gauge and an
inch/pounds torque wrench. Don't try to guess what your trigger pull is, you'll be sorry. The action screws that secure the action to the stock
must be torqued to 65 inch/pounds.You can get a good torque wrench from
Sears and Sinclairs
www.sinclairsintl.com carries the pull gauge.
You'll need to shoot off a benchrest or bipod using good factory match ammo (Federal GMM or Black Hills match) to determine the accuracy potential of your stick. A backpack and handloads won't cut it for this procedure.
Make sure you explain to your wife/girlfriend why you're borrowing her red nail polish! :-)
