[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1029095, member: 12995"] If you can't get it shooting in 100 rounds, don't spend 6 years screwing with it like I did with my Accumark. I dropped several deer with it over the years, but I wasn't hunting over 200 yards. So, 1.5"-2" groups were ok for that. But no matter how much I tuned it and my loads, it never got any better and never was predictable. So I knew there was something wrong. After weighing all my options, it was cheaper to just trade it in for $1000 and use that towards a new rifle that I KNOW has a better chance of being accurate. Since it was a gift, its hard to justify getting rid of it to your wife of GF, so, it would be his best option to go for a rebarrel with a thicker and better barrel (I would go 26" rem varmint contour), and bed the Lazermark stock and have the barrel channel opened up to accept the larger barrel, and free-float it. That way it still looks classy. Plus, I love the old school custom rifle look...bright stainless barrel, and a blued reciever. The nice LazerMark stock just adds a touch of class. :D [/QUOTE]
