[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 781656, member: 25383"] find somebody that's got a collection of Precision Shooting magazines, and go back about twenty years to see the Winchester mod. 70 (light barrel) in .270 Winchester that was shooting .30" groups. You'll never get there with a Remington! This guy actually won several benchrest shoots with that rifle. At one time I had two Ruger 77's in 6mm Remington. One was the standard hunter model and the other was a 77V. The 77V wouldn't shoot (but shot a lot better than that Remington). Eric Woods completely rebuilt the Ruger for me as a favor (I called in about two dozen markers on him actually). After he got done the very first group was a 3/4" group. By the end of the day I was shooting half inch groups. Within two weeks I was in the 3/8th's area. I come into the other 77 at about this time. Inspecting it, I found it in bad need of some bedding work. Not a lot, but still critcally placed. I fixed it in about two hours, and promptly shot a 3/4" group with the same loads I had for the 77V. Interestingly the chambers were almost identical right down to about .0007", so I figure Ruger only owned one reamer<g>! Yes I'd liked for the Ruger to shoot a little better, but for what I used it for it was plenty good enough (long range coyote shooting). At the sametime a buddy bought a 6mm Remington 700 varmit rifle with the laminate stock. Beautifull looking rifle that never got better than .65" groups. Now I used to shoot with that guy every Tuesday afternoon, and I know he knew his stuff. He ended up truing the action (was out about .010" and buying a new mod. 40 barrel in 6mm something.
