[QUOTE="chris matthews, post: 22796, member: 66"] I wouldn't write off the rifle yet- a buddy of mine at school brought in his sendero in .22-250 for a good cleaning. Upon inspection he noticed the rifling did not come all the way out to the crown on one side of his barrel. After recrowning and a bedding job we took the rifle to the range. He was getting the exact same situation as you- with Winchester Supreme ammo (50gr Ballistic Tips) Two shots would be almost touching or touching and the other would be off. The rifle was still shooting 1/2 to 3/4 moa but could have been tighter except for the flyer- this was the same for 100, 200 and 300 yards. After several tries, he asked me to shoot to make sure it wasn't him- I fired three 3 shot groups with the exact same results. We tried everything- nothing would help. If I was to make a scientific wild *** guess it would be the barrel has a stress point in the steel- I believe Remington barrels are hammer forged- I would suggest having the action and barrel cryo-ed to stress relieve it. Couldn't hurt and at best it might help. Just another angle to consider... [/QUOTE]
