[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 314663, member: 11717"] Aldon, Sorry to hear the rifle is shooting to expectations. I know the feeling. This Sendero however, is shooting better than expectations. Took it out yesterday and set up a target about 110 yds away. The previous owner said it had about 200 rounds through it. I didn't bother cleaning it, just took it out to put 5 rounds through it. The first was a sighter after which I dialed the "Tasco":rolleyes: that came on it up 3 MOA, then shot a 4 shot group standing/leaning on my porable bench because I forgot my chair:rolleyes:, with bi-pod and manually supporting rear stock. Not the most stable situation in the world. The tasco was a bit burry also. So there was a slight bit of movement while firing. Never-the-less, the first three shots measured .24" and the fourth took it to .45" The first sighter shot, when compensated for adjustment easily fell within the group and this is with factory ammo that came with it. I'm very happy and think this may be a .1-.2 rifle :) I mentioned skim bedding might help to improve a poor shooting rifle based on others reports - never have done it myself and wont likely try to fix a rifle that isn't broke. But with a rifle that isn't shooting up to par, I would do it. There are a lot of products, I would probably go with Devcon. The two issues you mentioned, could very well be the problem. Hope you get it figured out. Like I said, I know the grief of having a not good shooting rifle. Best, -MR [/QUOTE]
