[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 895368, member: 25383"] I had an older 77 varmint in 6mm, and that rifle struggled to shoot under three inch groups at 100 yards. Of course the trigger sucked, and a few other things. I got the rifle rebuilt by a guy I've long felt was one of the top five gunsmiths in the nation. He usually wouldn't work on a bolt gun unless it was something like a Griffen & Howe. But I called in several markers. He rebedded it, and reworked the trigger like something I didn't believe possible. Recut the scallops for the rings, and may have done a shoulder set back (really couldn't tell if he did). First group the rifle shot was a 3/4" one, and the next day was shooting consistent 3/8th" groups. Knowing what I know now, I think I could have made that rifle shoot in the very low threes and maybe even the high twos. gary [/QUOTE]
