If you are looking mainly for accurate shooting and are not in love with your current stocks you might consider some of the nice pillow bedded replacement stocks that are drop in, tork the screws and start shooting small groups. It also helps to find the ammo that your 700 prefers. Reloading is a godsend but if you don't want to play with different recipes just buy one box of several different brands and bullet weights. Your 700's should like one or several of the loads after free floating the barrel. Most 700's come from the factory with a little upward pressure under the front of the stock.That pressure can change with humidity, barrel temp etc. I have found that my 700's like to be free floated with the right load. Hope this helps.
