I was hoping someone with more experience than me could help with this one....
I have a .260 that I'm struggling to get to shoot well. It is custom made with quality components and the smithing has been checked over. The gun is in theory "good to go" I've been reloading with match dies and components, fired cases and loaded rounds checked for concentricity- all good there too.
So I sent it to someone else to try out. They couldn't really beat the MOA that I was geting with their loads and the 3-5-10 VXIII that is on top. They tried their own 6.5-20 leupy and then started shooting 1/2 MOA. His reasoning for the improvement was he could now see the movement of the gun on the target and could place the shots better. He also commented that a jewell trigger would help my group size too.
I was talking to a local guru about it, and he seems to think it is the scope at fault. He thinks that you should still be able to shoot 1/2 MOA at 10x as well at at 20x.
My questions are:
1. could the scope be faulty?
2. Do I need a larger scope and new trigger?
I'm also not doubting the fact that it could all be the fault of the "nut behing the butt"
Thanks in advance
