[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 960707, member: 22069"] Sub-MOA from a break-open single shot with factory ammo is asking a lot. If the forearm is touching the barrel, it WILL have a negative effect on accuracy. As previously mentioned, try some Black Hills Match ammo in your rifle. If you don't get sub-MOA with that, you are not likely to see that level of accuracy from factory ammo in your rifle. Once you have made sure that you don't have any stock-to-barrel contact issues, you may wish to learn to load your own ammo. Just having the ability to tune seating depth could make a big difference in your rifle. Or not. To wring the best accuracy from a given rifle, a person needs to do everything possible to stack the odds in their favor. Your current approach is doing exactly the opposite. Realistically, if you have gotten 1.5 MOA from your rifle with any factory ammo, I would consider that to be good enough to hunt with out to 500 yards or so. If you can achieve that, I recommend that you spend your time and money on practice, rather than focusing on making your rifle do something it was never designed to do. [/QUOTE]
