[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 284869, member: 10"] From a gunsmith stand point, looking at the groups you posted, I would say the horizontal stringing is a bedding issue or uneven contact with the barrel, likely one side or the other. If this is the problem, a proper bedding job should solve that problem. Also, I see your shooting basically one type of bullet, the Accubond. Factory rifles can be very finicky and I have found that if a rifle is finicky, it will on average shoot best with a thinner jacketed bullet. This is because the thin jacketed bullets will "Bump Up" under pressure and seal the bore better then a hard or semi hard bullet. The base of the Accubond is solid Guilding metal so it can nut bump up much at all under pressure. Combine this with a slightly oversized bore and you could see consistancy issues. I would try a SMK or a berger VLD bullet. If these do not shoot then I would say there is something mechanical wrong with the rifle. Sadly, Remington considers anything 2 moa or better as just fine!!! [/QUOTE]
