[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 132879, member: 8843"] I agree with Colin ,their mush be a glitch in the system some place. Here is a quick check list of things I would run through and see if one or more is amiss 1) check all action and scope screws to make sure their all tight 2) check to see if the barrel is making contact anywhere in the stock , if it is a littl bit of sanding will releave the contact and allow the barrel free float. 3) check the crown with a magnifing glass for any litte burs the smallest little booger on the crown will totaly wreck accuracy of the finest barrel put together by a great smith. 4) don't take this the wrong way but are you a better than 1.25"? I've built two guns for two differant guys that couleden't get better than 2" groups after shipping the gun back and forth several times I finaly ended up driving out to watch them shoot the gun and their habits were terrible. So some guys just need had a little coaching to help their groups. I have yet to see a factory gun that diden't benifit from a good bedding , trigger job and recrowing. After all this its still a turd then its a good canidate for a rebarrel. The only problem I can see is that some smiths don't like to rebarrel Sakos because they have a metric thread and its a pain in the pee-pee to get the threaded recut to non metric. For the price you could sell that gun for you can buy a good custom action from Lawton or Borden and be way ahead for the game for a rebuild. But if you have a smith that'll rebarrel the action and thats the one you want to keep then yea it'll make a good shooter if the smith does his part. [/QUOTE]
