[QUOTE=".30 CAL, post: 595129, member: 12385"] Don't know what you've tried yet but here's what I would do. Bed the action (I use JB weld) Make sure barrel is free floating, the factory SPS stock is pretty flimsy so make sure there is plenty of gap between the barrel and stock. Torque the action screws to 65 inch pounds Buy a box of factory ammo (no bergers) Shoot some groups. Make sure you use a solid rest my bag is filled with corn cob media because it doesn't pack as hard as sand but it is more solid than poly beads, pvc beads, and a bunch of other synthetic fillers I have tried. A gun in this caliber in the 8-9 LBS range is gonna move so you need to make sure it sits in the same place on your bags for every shot. As flimsy as the factory stock is any shift on the bags could show up as POI change. Also hold the gun tighter than you would a lighter caliber on the bench, pull it into your shoulder with your bottom 3 fingers and wrap your thumb solidly around the stock. If your trigger is heavier than you like, squeeze your whole hand around the stock to fire instead of just squeezing with your index finger. If the groups look promising load up some ammo and work on load development. I would use H1000 working my way from 89 grains to 93 grains. 190 grain SMK loaded .002 from the lands or if this is too long and you want to use as a repeater then go to max magazine length. Remington brass and your choice of primer. If none of this works and you can put small groups on paper the same day you are trying to get this gun to group then you could get an after market stock and repeat (I like HS Precision and Grey Bull) or send to a smith for an accurizing package.
