[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1113779, member: 12193"] I have a 700 LSS which is basically an SPS with a laminated wood stock. I pillar bedded it and gave it a trigger job. It would shoot around 1.5" for the most part. I tried everything with that gun trying to make it shoot, and the only thing that worked was painstaking attention to detail with my reloads. I neck turned, sorted, used the best dies available, and sorted the ammo by concentricity. The best ammo (.002" runout or less) would shoot .5 MOA. Stuff with .003-.005 would give me fliers, and .005+ would scatter a group at 1.25-1.50. Keep in mind that factory ammo usually has .005-.012 of runout. I finally got tired of it being so picky so I rebarreled her and now she's happily shooting under 1/2 moa without sorting the reloads. Some factory barrels will shoot well with the right loads, some won't. It's luck of the draw. [/QUOTE]
