[QUOTE="TurboD, post: 2713339, member: 123106"] Just an update. I got my rifle back the first time and it shot better. Within the 3/4 MOA guarantee when cold. BUT, the rifle would shoot 1-2 MOA after a little bit of warmth in the barrel (5-10 shots in moderate succession). I emphasize the barrel was warm, not hot. Springfield took the rifle back and assured me that their tech fired 20 rounds through the rifle in rapid succession and their next group was within 3/4 MOA. Having shot over 100 rounds through the rifle and never having the same experience myself, I called BS. After some back and forth with their warranty rep, they offered to send me the same rifle back with an all-steel barrel... Not acceptable given the price difference between what I bought and what they offered me. After explaining to the rep why taking a cheaper rifle back after the 3-4 months total the rifle had been in Springfield's possession was not going to work for me, I got them to agree to send me a brand new rifle in 6.5 PRC. So now, I am in the queue for the new rifle to come off the production line. Hopefully, the third time is the charm. [/QUOTE]
