[QUOTE="LoneTraveler, post: 950142, member: 77249"] That rifle looks like the rifles Remington made in the late 1960's. Check the bedding and barrel float some Remington rifles need about 15 lb of tension on the lump on the front of the stock about the front sling swivel to shoot well. Clean and check the bore. CHECK THE FIRING PIN SPRING poundage. In working on old 700's, 721 and 722. 50 years of sitting around cocked has take its tole on the Firing Pin Spring. I inherited a 722 that was making a sharp edge around the edge of the firing pin dent on the primer. Once in a while it would blow out the firing pin dent and smoke coming in the action. It shot 2-3 inch groups. A new firing pin spring stopped the primer problem and the rifle went back to 1/2- 3/4 groups I remembered from when it was new. Good Luck in finding the problem. [/QUOTE]
