[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 612964, member: 21068"] Well, the rifle is on its way back to me. The barrel was sent back to Lilja, and they didn't find anything wrong with it, but re-lapped it anyway. LSS, it still wouldn't shoot the 180's any better than 1.5 moa. The smith tried a few bullets and nothing 180 or heavier wanted to meet his 1/2 minute gaurantee (at least not consistantly). He tried some 165's and it tightened up alot and got more consistant. Guess I'll load up some 165s and see if it will give me the same 2" groups at 500 yds that he was getting with them.?? I am still feeling like a gun of this magnitude shouldn't be this picky, but if it will shine with 165's then it will do the job out to 800 yds or so. [/QUOTE]
