[QUOTE="dwinmeade, post: 1833347, member: 111253"] In keeping it simple and affordable: I bought a T/C Compass in 7mm-08 , not for the looks (ugly gun so says my gunsmith), but for the 5R rifling. Out of the box, cold bore it shoots 1/4" groups with Winchester 140 grain Silver Tips. (It also shoots 110 grain HP Speers reloads at 1/4".) The trigger pull sucked, so I changed out the 3 trigger springs from M*Carbo...sweet 2.5 pull now. My top 2 scopes are Athlon, both are on both my two 5R rifled guns...22-250/7mm-08. Both guns are shooting 1/4" groups with the Winchester Silver Tips. I do reload, but had I discovered the combination of 5R rifling and Silver Tip ammo, I would have never started to reload. The combination of Athlon scopes, 5R rifling, and Winchester Silver Tips makes me the most accurate, deadliest shooter/hunter that I have ever been at 68 yrs. Oh I might mention, all my guns are tipped with a APA bastard muzzle brake...they keep me feeling like the young shooter I once was (recoil speaking)! [/QUOTE]
