[QUOTE="ramrod79, post: 1028562, member: 58107"] I have had a few Montanas now ,and they are picky rifles but I have had no trouble getting them to shoot .5MOA . Every one has been full length bedded ,and trigger worked . I also hand load as none of mine have liked factory ammo, and a good 20-30 round barrel break in procedure was done before any load development . I never shoot 5 shot groups with my light weight rifles 3 shot groups with a good break in-between shots as these barrels heat up quick. The last thing I can suggest is practice as shooting a lightweight rifle is a bit different from a heavy rifle . The last Montana I sold was in a 280 AI the rifle had some work done to it as stated above gun would shoot .5 MOA at 100yards with me shooting my hand loads , and I had targets to prove to buyer. I sent the gun , and ammo to buyer but he could only get rifle to shoot 1.5-2 inch groups but he has never shot a 6 LB gun before, and after shooting 30-40 rounds from rifle he is now down to .75MOA at 100yards . Hope this helps you . [/QUOTE]
