[QUOTE="Ace Quackhunter, post: 1995742, member: 112792"] Chris, I understand your frustration with trying to get your Remington to shoot. I had the same issues with my own and while I tossed everything and was ready to sell it and let someone else worry with it. I decided to take mine to local gunsmith and let him take a look. The first thing we found was the muzzle crown not be concentric and the bolt lugs only making contact on one lug. Since I do like the rifle and I have had 308 rifles in the past that would shoot I am going to rebuild it. The barrel will removed and re-crowned, cut off one to two threads at the chamber and re-cut chamber with custom match reamer. Replace recoil lug, square receiver, lap raceway, re-cut bolt lugs and bed the action into the stock. "Why" you ask? Because I can. It's good for my local guy, it's good for the vendors, it's good for me and good for the Ole USA. So sometime in early next year I will be at the range, knowing the 308 should be able to shoot and I will find out, if I will sell it of keep it. I have enclosed a few photos of my efforts in trying to work up a load before the rebuild. Ace [/QUOTE]
