[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 462128, member: 307"] I have one and it is "pretty" accurate. My youngest son (21) has it right now but I'll probably get it back one day when he get's tired of it. I bought it used from a gunshop in Goldsboro, NC and according to the previous owner it had less than 3 boxes of factory fodder through it and during our conversation I recognized he had no clue about barrel break-in. After what I thought should have been a proper barrel break-in, and somewhat lengthy, I proceeded to load development with the 168gn Berger. I went though a 100 ct box and never did find a repeatable, accurate load. I changed over to the 150gn Nolser BT and it produced 1/4" groups and that's all I have shot in it since. I changed out the OEM trigger with a Shilen and that made it even better. While it was accurate I have a Winchester M70 HVB and two Savages 112BVSS's that are consistently more accurate. Getting an extremely accurate one is a 50/50 propisition, like any make/model. Good luck. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
