[QUOTE="winmag, post: 678031, member: 22166"] I'm a Model-70 Freak myself. I've got a few factory rigs with Burris or Leupold scopes with stadia lines. I love em'! They work great to 550-600+yds. I'll bet the key to your problem lies in the trigger. Adjust it, or have it professionally adjusted down to 2-1/2 to 3 lbs MAX!! No need for a trigger pull measured in ounces here. It's a factory huntin rifle. But other than handloads, a lighter Trigger is top priority, in line with floated barrel, & bedded action. If your rifle groups well at 400 with factory ammo, & the ability or desire to handload isn't there, do Trigger work first, then free float bbl, & bed the action. Both will noticeably shrink your groups. [/QUOTE]
