[QUOTE="farout, post: 888260, member: 39061"] I agree with Rev. I would do up some handloads and see how that works before changing the stock or even selling it. I don't think the free bore is an issue. Seems the barrel has a 9 1/8 twist so it should handle 100gn bullets well. Stock could be junk, but I would at least shoot some groups with handloads first. Try some Nosler ballistic tips, they are usually pretty easy to tune and do not require a short jump. I have a .243 that didn't shoot factory ammo well at all, but was very easy to work up handloads for. You did not mention the actual size of the groups? [/QUOTE]
