[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1949681, member: 14204"] [B][I]^^^THIS!^^^[/I][/B]. The "NUT" behind the trigger remains the biggest factor. This reminds me of shooter at a range in NM a few years ago. I was out shooting my rifle and my sons' rifles one last time before a hunt. Fired 3 shots each and packed them. While waiting for the range to be safe and clear so I can retrieve my targets, I was admiring the shooter's beautiful rifle set-up next to me. However, he seems to have some problem because he keeps shaking his head and adjusting his scope. He asked me if I can shoot his rifle to confirm/validate the problem, obviously, I obliged. 😇 As I take the position and get comfortable, I noticed a couple of empty boxes of factory .30-06 ammo laying around on the ground and another half-empty on the bench. Looking through the scope, he is definitely all over. I squeezed 3 rounds and they were well within 1 MOA at 100 yards. The best advice I can give him that day was to call it a day and come back another day and try again. Dave, what I am saying is that you might have answered your own question/doubt ... Good luck! You got this. Ed [/QUOTE]
