[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 1786815, member: 110162"] I had a rem 700 adl synthetic in 308 that shot fairly consistently in the. 6 range at 100, with bedding and a laborious barrel break in. It liked the vortex barnes 168s(?), maybe it was 165s. Anyway, it was a fight, but it wound up shooting great. Then I bought an excalibur remage barrel off ebay(!) And a discounted boyds featherweight thumbhole stock, pillar bedded the stock, glass bedded it, slapped a timney 512 trigger in it. Set it up myself and with new untweaked handloads , cut the factory /bedded group size in half (low .3s /5 shots). Untrued action . 320.00 barrel w nut , 99 .00 boyds at once stock. Timney 512 120.00, pillar kit 60.00. Bedding material 5.00 . Add used action at a reasonable price or use something you already have collecting dust . It definitely can be done. [/QUOTE]
