[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 751227, member: 41442"] Joe I guess for the most part ive worked with factory guns. Mostly wood stocked factory guns. All of them were floated, bedded and the triggers were done but thats about it. The most recent is a ruger hawkeye and ive got it down to around a inch and a quarter for 5 shots but it doesnt seem to want to budge from there. I know most here have differnt ideas then I do. Im more of a hunter then a long range competitor. Ive never rebarreled a gun. If they didnt shoot they went down the road. I guess for my uses i just never could justify spending 600 bucks rebarreling a 600 dollar gun. then putting a 400 dollar stock on it and paying a smith another 300 or so to do accuracy work. Now i may be a bit of a hypocrit on this subject because I do have a few custom revolvers that set me back well over 2k. Ive just through the years been able to for the most part find factory guns that shoot good enough for my uses. What is good enough for my uses? I like a gun that on its worse day shoots its best load into an inch for 5 shots. that accuracy level is good enough for deer out to 500 yards if i do my part. Problem is ive just never found a 7mag out of the box that would do it. I keep threatening to buy a 7 mag sendero. Its at about the top of the price range ill do on a rifle and might be my best hope of finding a good one. [/QUOTE]
