Creedmoor shooter

For those of you that were following my last thread, I'm here with an update. For those of you who dont know I traded a browning x-bolt 7mm rem mag which shot pretty well for a Remington 700 long range 7mm rem mag. When I get the Remington home, it had a bur in the chamber. Long story short, I had a run around with 2 gun shops and Remington before getting my rifle back 3 weeks later. It was a horror show. I've had it back for a few weeks but hadn't got the chance to shoot it. Well today I took it out with some factory ammo just to break it in using hornady 140 grain American whitetail. I was alittle surprised to say the least. First group I fired wasnt impressive. 1.4 moa. I cleaned the rifle and fired a .995 moa. Not bad it's better. Then it completely suprised me and shot a .249 moa then followed by a .681moa. So far, this rifle shows promise with less than 20 rounds down the pipe and still in break in. It still had the junk x-mark trigger set at 4lbs. The chamber is still scratching my brass in the neck and shoulder area but it's not causing sticky extraction. Seems like she wants to shoot. We'll see how it does when I get some rounds down the pipe and start load development. In case people are wondering, this paper was shot to pieces already with other rifles so my had is covering 6.5 rounds and my other pic is trying to cut them out. Not covering up flyers.
