[QUOTE="Charliemike, post: 1422141, member: 105353"] Good day, Couple of things I wanted to add. At longer ranges barrel harmonics might be an issue here and then there is my 300 Win Mag Story. I purchased a Sendero Remington 700 Fluted Heavy barrel 300 Win mag some years back. My extreme Friend and I took it to the range. It has a Nightforce 5.5-22-56 Scope on it and after break in we started trying to zero the rifle. it would not hold a Group. the other rifles with us were stacking rounds and the mirror image rifle my friend had also purchased was as well. My bud a scout sniper type was getting pretty mad at this point and we decided to call it a day. I went to see Frank and Joe at Great Northern Guns here in Anchorage to tell the story. Frank and Joe had me take the rifle to a gun smith at precision arms. Vince the owner took the rifle and said he would call me in a day or so. Well he called and was like you will not believe it. So I went over and the scope mount holes in the receiver were drilled crooked. it was not apparent till you put a straight edge on it and it was bad. with some extreme Pressure from Joe Remington took the rifle back and replaced the receiver and barrel . Then the rifle hits shell casings at 300 yards. So that is another area where something that you might not even notice can mess up the pudding. [/QUOTE]
