I have a lrpv in 22-250 1-9 twist factory barrel. 35.4 grs of cfe223 with 70 berger vld. sub .25 @ 100 and less than .6 @ 200 5 shot grp. hard to compete with that for a 1000 dollar gun

My savage 10 308 puts 5@ 300 that’s at 1.180″ now. Wonder If I would gain anything?

I had a Rem 700VLS in 22-250 that split groups with every load combination. I replaced the barrel with a Criterion prefit from Jim Briggs and immediately got .4 MOA. Criterion barrels are incredible. My 6BR is gonna get one in 2012.

I also have a Remington 700P which is completely original. It spits 175 SMK’s through a ragged hole at 100 yards all day long (175smk, 45.0 RL15, Lapua brass, Fed210M, 0.010 off the lands) with amazingly little vertical error. At 200 yards its still holding 0.5-0.75 MOA. Must have been built on a Tuesday morning by someone who had a great Monday night. Certainly some rifles need a new barrel but every factory rifle sits somewhere on the accuracy bell curve – its just the luck of the draw where your rifle sits on it.

I have a Rem 700. The only things original are the trigger and scope bases. Two barreled actions and then a third barrel finally cured it.

I would opine that the quote by Einstein would “accurately” define target rifle shooters…..er….maybe my wife is correct, maybe I am crazy!!!!!
