    This is an old note, but to add my $0.02.  I have a Remington 700
    Mountain Rifle .280 that I bought second hand.  The guy I bought
    it from had done a quite a bit of tinkering with it already.  I 
    recently bedded another rifle and realized that there was probably 
    plenty of bedding material to do the .280 also, so I did some checking
    on the rifle.  The barrel is already floated.  The receiver area 
    fits plenty tight, and the rifle already shoots sub moa.  It will
    whack prarie dogs 300+ yd out.  Decision: Don't mess with a good
    thing.
    
    Moral: Check the rifle out first.  If it shoots good without messing
    with it, leave it alone.
