[QUOTE="splattermatic, post: 254353, member: 6781"] i recently traded for an er shaw commercial fn mauser action built 338-06. it's great rifle. nice laminated stock, timney trigger, luppy mounting hardware and scope... but, no matter what bullets i've used so far and no matter what powder behind them , this thing will only do about 2 inches at best and most of the time is vertical... i rebedded it, redid the mountings, and blue loc tited them, the crown looks good , nothing touching, i mean i checked action screw torque, etc... with hornady 200's i am about .025 off at mag length and with 225 tsx's about .050. i haven't tried longer, nor shorter yet... think it my help? i am about to say f it and rebarrel..... but i don't want to quit, i want to beat this thing and get at least a consistant 1" group for at minimum 3 shots... this is the first rifle i cannot get to shoot... any ideas why the vertical stringing, horizontal it keeps 1/2" to 3/4" "groups"... if i rebarrel i'd like to go 6.5-284..... can a mauser shoot itty bitty groups ?
