[QUOTE="bookworm, post: 312912, member: 13840"] Thanks for everyone's input and help. Here are answers to a few questions by MontanaRifleman: Yes, very often there are two of the three shots very close (often 1/2" range) with one that flies out by an inch or more. In fact, as I sit and look at my targets right now, I see that of the 6 groups that were similar (1 - 1.5 moa), every one of them followed that pattern. Two shots will be 0.25" to 0.5" and then the 3rd is out by an inch or so. My rifle is a standard Remington 700 SPS dropped in an HS Precision stock and trigger adjusted down to 3#. I saw no improvement in accuracy with the HS stock, so I just returned it. I'm going to go with a laminate stock and will pillar and glass bed...which is next weekend's project. I clean after every trip to the range, which is 20 to 40 shots. I usually shoot 3 fouling shots. No, I have not shot MOA consistently before. I've been shooting casually for a lot of years but am a newbie to the higher accuracy and long range stuff. I'd like to get my hands on a proven rifle and see if part of the problem is me. I'm shooting off of a solid concrete table with a stable rest on the front and a nice leather rabbit ear bag in the rear. My shots are breaking clean and everything seems to be very steady. Also, I've tried a couple different scopes to rule out a bad scope as a contributing factor. Keep the suggestions coming - I appreciate the input. [/QUOTE]
