[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2215638, member: 117774"] I once sent a rifle to a custom shop to have a new barrel installed as that year I missed two easy shots to fill my freezer with venison. This 284 winchester had over 5000 rounds thru it and the factory barrel accuracy was stellar. I once loaded 10 different loads with bullet weights from 139 Gr to 160 with 3 or 4 different powders and the 10 shot group was 1.50" . With loads it liked, 5 shot .375 MOA were common. When I sent the rifle off groups had grown to 1.25" and larger. Anyhow, after a few months at the shop, I got a call from the owner that the rifle was being sent back to me all done, but he added a comment " did you know that your scope mounts were loose?" I was dumbfounded - I repled that I had loctited them down 15 years prior. [/QUOTE]
