[QUOTE="ohiohunter, post: 1180776, member: 55230"] IMHO you already have exactly what you want out of a hunting rifle, but you are expecting bench gun precision. For hunting purposes I see no reason to shoot more than 3 shot groups, for a bench rig I wouldn't consider groups less than 5. I bet your 3shot groups are sub 0.5".... which would make the majority of this site happy. If you are in fact letting your barrel cool when you attempt your 5shot groups the conditions can change enough to make a difference, esp where I live, even at 100yds. The heavier you go the more shots you're gonna pack into a group, so the real question is how heavy are you willing to go? [/QUOTE]
