[QUOTE="BronzePt, post: 558953, member: 38025"] Some good info here on the CLR. I purchased a CLR in 30-06 when the first came out. I scoped it up with a Leupold VXII 4x12 and went out to shoot a few groups. I used Factory Federal Premium High Energy loads with 165 grain Sierra Boattails. I bore sighted through the bore at 100 yards to get on paper. The first shot hit about an inch high and two inches to the right of my 1/2 " black square bull. I fired a second shot and could not see the hole, same with the third. Geez, I thought, I really bought a lemon; I can't even keep the thing on paper! I walked up to the target...WHOA! Is that really just a slightly egg shaped hole!! All three shots went into 0.016", the best group I've ever fired in a sporter weight rifle, and the best ever with factory loads. [/QUOTE]
