[QUOTE="Russell Sonner, post: 2309457, member: 112476"] I have that same rifle and it's around a 1-1.5" shooter using most factory ammo if using the factory stock. You may not be aware that the factory Remington stocks have a raised channel in the forearm along the length of the barrel and at the front where the sling swivel hole is that touch's and cradles the barrel. I read somewhere that they did that to help accuracy but a lot of people have found that if you want to do even better you will need to rasp that area down to cleanly free float the barrel and then develop your load. I have done that with mine and get better than .5 moa shooting 139 SST's where prior I could not do better than a little over 1.3. I have a second newer model stock that I modified. [/QUOTE]
