[QUOTE="dmax1800, post: 842729, member: 68255"] I had a problem with accuracy consistency with a rifle that had been thoroughly worked over and a supposed match grade barrel put on it. I even had a second gunsmith check it out and he couldn't find anything wrong with the stock, bedding, action, bolt or barrel. It would sometimes shoot 3/8" to 1/2" and then shoot 1 3/8" to 1 7/8" with the same load at 100 yards. I sent the rifle back to the barrel manufacturer, who shall remain nameless, but couldn't much help from them. They only shot one 3 shot group with a fouled barrel and called it good. They told me it must be either shooter error, component error or loading error. My first thread has been deleted, but several guys also said that because they had a barrel from the same manufacturer, the shooter must be the problem. I just wanted to let them know what I could do with a featherweight hunting rifle with a low cost, low power scope at 450 yards. [/QUOTE]
