[QUOTE="jjmp, post: 2993685, member: 9664"] Years back when I found my model 75 Sako synthetic in the used rack . It was in like new condition ,bought it took it home and put some leupold 1 inch rings on it . Started reloading for it and it was staying around 1.5 which I thought was suspicious,then it dawned on me , hey give it some time ,it’s not shot enough cause it’s almost new ,and no way to know how much if at all it was shot . So every 10 shots I cleaned it,then continued to up the round count,then clean so more ,seemed like I was cleaning more then shooting at last my 60 rounds was done . Then I told myself either you’re gonna shoot or down the road you go. The next reloads I throttled her up and she came around to a nice 1 inch ,3 shot group , so I changed bullets tried the new 160 accubond noslers with a whisker over book loads and they shot fantastic 3/8 ,3 shots at 100 yds . Now some might say hey that needs to be 5 shot groups , I say it’s my way my rifle ,to each their own. Caliber 7 STW bbl 26 inch chronograph reload 3150 fps. Moral of story stick with it , give it some TLC , happy it payed off ,Cheers !!!. [/QUOTE]
