[QUOTE="LaHunter, post: 813023, member: 54963"] Not sure how to post photos. I think you can expect sub .5 MOA groups at 100 yards for $2200 (not including scope) for sure. I have been able to shoot 2.5" groups at 600 yards with my rifle from sand bags. It will shoot .75 MOA groups at 300 yards with factory ammo consistently from sand bags. I decided to go with Krieger because based on my research, it seems that most people put them in top 3 barrel makers in U.S. (or the world I guess). Many consider them to be the best. My barrel contour is a #6, based on Krieger description and is 26" long. My rifle is in an H.S. precision stock. Maybe not considered absolute best for ultimate accuracy, but H.S. Precision stocks are rock solid and many tack drivers sit in H.S. Precision stocks. I think they are very good for a hunting rifle. The recoil lug and front of the action are bedded in Devcon. I have Leupy Mk IV Long Range base and Mk IV rings (medium hieght). Maybe a bit on the heavy side, but rock solid. A Leupy VX 3 4.5-14 X 50 mm Long Range is on top. I had the custom shop install an M1 dial on top for elevation. Also I had Red Creek Tactical apply Cerakote to the barreled action. Total weight of my rig is about 12.5#. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
