[QUOTE="308longshot, post: 971762, member: 81943"] As I promised I would post my results of changing my barrel, I went out yesterday and tried a new ER Shaw 308 barrel in varmint contour. It was a 243 winchester but got nothing better than 2 inch groups. I fired 3 shots after bore sighting to get it reasonably toward the middle of a target. My rest was decent but still more wobbly than I prefer as I was sitting a little high on a bipod. I fired 5 shots for a group that measured .900 center to center. I did not think think that was too bad for the five of the first eight shots through a new barrel. I assume with proper break in and working up a load the gun likes I should be able to cut that group in half. Reasonable? I tried to insert a pic but no luck Your thoughts are appreciated. Thanks again for all of the advice. [/QUOTE]
