That's actually pretty bad for a modern commercial rifle. That Ruger I mentioned? It was originally a 6PPC shooting 3/4" groups, that was rechambered to 6mmBR, barrel rethreaded, and muzzle remachined, and it shot under 3/8" of an inch with the first load!First Shirt wrote:I've got a M77-MkIILH, in .30-06 that will group under an inch with handloads, and will go 1-1/2 inches with every factory ammo I've tried in it, from 150 to 180 gr. bullets.

Re: Ruger Precision Rifle
Well, since this is a bone-stock rifle, using the factory barrel and trigger group, and wearing a Leupold 4X scope, I'm pretty pleased with < 1.0 MOA using handloads.
Granted, it's not benchrest accuracy, but it's minute-of-whitetail out past the point where I'm comfortable shooting at live stuff.

But there ain't many troubles that a man caint fix, with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six."
