Go to Iron sights and see what you got...
Sell it my 1964 remington shoots 4 inch groups at 1500yrds with cheap Winchester deer season 180 grI've pulled it all apart, checked everything and re-torqued the action and scope rings. I've checked all the clearances and the spot bedding and haven't been able to find anything yet. I've shot everything from Barnes, Nosler, Hornady, Federal and Sierra from 150gr to 180gr and nothing will go under 4" at 100 yds.
Bought brand newI guess you implied the rifle was new when you bought it, but you didn't say for sure if it was used or new?
If its a new rifle with only 150 rounds through it and won't shoot better than 4" groups, its gotta be a scope issue.
Can't really be the barrel (unless its a manufacturing defect) or any type of fouling if new with only 150 rounds.
Definitely replace the scope and then see......
Because I was hoping it was not the rifle but rather something else that others may recommend, because I've got several hunts coming up and didn't want to have it sitting at Christensen during the hunts if it wasn't needed.Why wouldn't you send it to Christensen?
Rebarrel it. After having first hand experience with Christensen rifles and read others problems with terrible grouping that should fix the problem. It's a chronic thing unfortunately. Probably why it was for sale.I had a Bergara 300wm that I sold a few months ago because I couldn't find ammo and it cost too much when I did. So I bought a Christensen arms mesa 308win because the rifle was available and I could find ammo everywhere and it didn't break the bank to shoot. My dilemma now is that the Christensen won't group under 4+ inches with any factory ammo I put through it. I have been a dedicated Bergara owner and was hesitant going with a Christensen and now I am debating on if I should sell the rifle and be done with it and go back to a Bergara or get the Christensen rebarreled. Any thoughts?
I checked the crown and the brake just today and do not see anything wrong.Dumb question maybe, but have you checked the crown?
You need to go to a match with that rifle.Sell it my 1964 remington shoots 4 inch groups at 1500yrds with cheap Winchester deer season 180 gr
