[QUOTE="ProfessorM, post: 1139183, member: 21919"] I have 2 of these. One is an SF I that I bought at a good price, had trigger worked down, and had it bedded. It shoots light out with 215 Bergers and Retumbo. I have killed several deer, hogs, and coyotes to 800 yards with it. Last year, the last 3 shots I took with it gave a 3 1/2" group at 830 yards. I decided not to shoot it anymore unless something needed killing! Fast forward to now....I have a new SF II in 300 RUM, trigger changed to old style Remmy, and bedded. Here's what I've found...several loads have shown potential. 3 shots might be 1/2" 100, 2"@400 and then my next three may be 8 inches at 400. (Barrel not hot). If I hold the forearm with down pressure, and pull tight to my shoulder, groups will rival a custom rifle. Any other way and it shoots terrible. Prone, bag and bipod with hand on bag, etc. I have decided that it's not the loads. I've checked the action screws, scope, mounts, magazine box is right, etc. the only thing I can think of is that I am no good with the this stock but I have a Savage LRP with the palm swell and no problems. Anybody else experience anything like this? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
