[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 56430, member: 8947"] Paul, you didn't get much response because with factory rifles, results can vary so much. I just picked up a base model Savage 110 in 270 that shoots 1/4MOA. Will all Savages shoot that well? Maybe... so with factory rifles, you pays your money and you take your chances. If the worker was off a few thou on the reamer, that rifle will never shoot. However, it is still within factory specs so out it goes. many companies have tightened up their quality control and also the chamber dimensions they use. Winchester/Browning have really done that with their WSM, etc rifles. Many are reported to shot MOA or better with factory ammo. That is very good performance. Almost all rifles will shoot better when properly bedded and tuned, shot with good ammo by a competent shooter. You just sometimes have to work at it. Remember that many hunting bullets are simply not accurate. So trying to make them shoot tiny groups would be a big waste of time and money. Don't blame the rifle in that case. Jerry [/QUOTE]
