[QUOTE="Dan swainston, post: 2262925, member: 109990"] I feel your pain received a 30 nosler Christensen arms traverse. Would not group to tighter than 2” some times 4”. tried several powders. peterson brass. even tried coupld of bullets. took it to a gun smith. bedding was sub par stock would colaspe and touch the barrel on down hill shots. but the kicker was they cut one rifling in the throat of the chamber. delivered it back to the Christensen arms factory. Showed the the gunsmiths report showed the pictures of rifling cut in the throat. Asked to speak with the Technition after they fixed it. Came back through gunnison two weeks later. They rebedded it but loaded a heavy bullet and said they got it to shoot a 1 inch group. This rifle was purchased for California hunting which requires lead free ammo. They said they have meet their requirements. I told them I doubted this gun would shoot Barnes or hornady copper Bullets they refused to replace the barrel, I took it home and worked up loads for it again and still shooting 2” to 4” groups. very sorry they will not stand behiend Thier guns. it has cost them several sales and I cannot recomend a Gun maker that has such floppy stocks and guns that have the capability to be shooters but haven’t measured up. The gunsmith gave me several examples of fixes he has had to make. Felt that $3,000 should have bought something with tighter groups. [/QUOTE]
