[QUOTE="knifecat, post: 2758189, member: 50452"] I recently got a 340 weatherby someone else had built and never used. Minus the action, it is what I would have built. The guy used a Mark V Japan 9 Lug for the build. Heres the question or issues. And wanted to get some thoughts. It is a proof research Carbon Fiber barrel AG Chalk branch stock 1 to 9.2 twist. Vortex Strike Eagle 5x25x56mm 34mm tube. EGW 20 MOA rail and vortex precision rings. I was told the smith shot 2 three shot groups and it was under an inch. The guy never shot it as his hunt fell through. I have shot 225 Spire points, 225 interlocks, both of which I have variations of old boxes and new weatherby premium boxes, and 300 grain noslers. Best group I can get is about 1.4" at 100. I am not cleaning or moping between shots. I am unsure if barrel has been lapped and everything has remained tight to torque specs. I am just disappointed in the overall performance. I take my weathermark and am under an inch. I have all kinds of other coopers and brownings that are just stock guns that are big calibers that are ragged hole guns. Is this potentially being a 1.4" gun the best I will get? Or will another 50 rounds break the barrel in that much to improve it. I would have thought this gun to be a ragged hole gun and it is not at this point. Any thoughts??? [/QUOTE]
