[QUOTE="Old teacher, post: 843709, member: 48420"] Mudrunner: the truth may have hurt you. I actually took the gun out to get it ready to sell. Now that I know more about it, I think I will keep it and shoot it awhile before I do that. It has only been fired 10 times, and the best group I got was 1.5 inches. But I have loaded up a half dozen experimental loads to run through it, and I am confident that I will get it under an inch. If I can't it will be on the block, but I have had only one rifle that I could not get under an inch , and that was a Remington Model 7 custom with the Mannlicher stock. It was a beautiful gun, but would not shoot for ****. I gave up and sold it for double my purchase price. I think it shot better than I shot it. I hate recoil and put brakes on everything. Since this was a full length stock, there was no place to put a brake. I guess I could have magna-ported it, but I knew that drilling a bunch of holes in the barrel would affect the selling price.
