[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1228861, member: 90399"] Not everyone on here runs $4K rifles. I've seen too many $500 rifles that shoot .5 MOA or better to believe that accuracy is expensive. Cheaper factory rifles can be hit or miss in regards to accuracy. "Most" often expensive rifles are accurate because they were more carefully manufactured. But still there are many factory rifles that are super accurate. There are tons and tons and tons of things people will try in order to fix an accuracy problem with a factory rifle. Reloading is the main thing which you already do so that's great. Besides reloading, I think the most beneficial thing I've ever learned to do that helped with accuracy was bedding the receiver in the stock. I've done quite a few now and it has helped every time. Sometimes it helped a bit. Sometimes it helped way more than expected. Your accuracy looks good and I wouldn't be embarrassed to show people. Good work! However there is most likely some accuracy potential left in that rifle. (One last note that is just my opinion... Unless you remember flinching or pulling a specific shot, you need to count the flyers as part of your group. If you shot a group of 10 or 15 instead of 5, you might notice that the flyer was a real indication of that load. Only bringing this up to help, not to call fault with your groups). Hope this helps!
