[QUOTE="Guest, post: 24951"] Keith Take your gun to a good gunsmith, he can look at the crown, and look at the throat and barrel with a bore scope. Often a thick recoil lug and a precision crown with bedding is all you need to make that set up shoot really well. To go significantly under 1/2 MOA you are getting into territory that is usually only tread on by very well made custom guns with match grade barrels. Having said that, I have seen several factory guns that will shoot better than 1/2 MOA. They are usually smaller calibers that do not make a lot of heat and recoil. I have seen several .308 sized guns with boss systems shoot phenominal but the guys that owned them were master handloaders and could have done things I am not aware of. A good smith will be able to tell you if a recrown has a chance of helping your gun achieve your goals, or if there are other problems that may be easily resolved.
