[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 938548, member: 25383"] the first gun board I ever joined was on AOL close to twenty years ago. There was one guy who did some experimenting with a Rem. Mod. 40 take off barrel. He actually made his own barrel nut that was similar in shape and design to the current barrel nut. Of course the doodle bugs laughed at him! But he consistently shot better groups than most anybody else. The following winter there were two more barrel nut Remingtons in that group, and each one shot better than the conventional design. They had a mail in postal match with all groups judged by Joe Barnes and another guy. The rifle that won was a full bore custom action rifle in 6PPC (Stole action that had been modified extensively with a Hart barrel). It shot groups in the very low two's and maybe a couple in the ones). The next four or five were Savages and one of the Remingtons. In the factory class group the top five or six were Savages with the exception of a Winchester Mod. 70 (I still think the guy had a custom barrel by the way). In the mix were at least one Mod 40 Remington, and several other brands. That was a couple years before Pacnor started to offer the option, and when they did several others in that mix of about fifty to sixty guys jumped on the band wagon. That was about the time I got my first Savage (112BV-s in 22-250). It wouldn't have won the modified class, but would have placed in the top three or four right out of the box. It would have been one or number two in the out of the box class, even with the scope issues I was having with the Burris I was attempting to use. That rifle was stolen in a home invasion, so I never go to seriously find out. (the rifle that won the factory class shot quarter inch groups with a .223 in a 112 Savage). Looking at the results; every center fire action that won or placed in the top four had a barrel nut with one exception. Now I have a Mod. 700 short action in .223 NM with a .246 necked chamber. Shoots mid fours with a classic Remington quality barrel. I'm going to rebarrel it sooner than later in .223NM with a .244 neck. I'll also do a .222NM with a .246 neck at the same time.
