[QUOTE="SDarkRage, post: 905153, member: 3492"] Show off. I'm not a marksman by any means. I'm happy to get a 1" group at 100 yards and to ring 8" steel at 500. The only gun I've ever been able to shoot sub-moa with is my dad's old Herter's .243 Win that was made in '56 I believe. I worked up a 90gr Sierra GameKing pushed by Varget that out of 9 shots (the first 3 were finding zero with the new scope), I put 7 (the 3rd sight in shot plus the following 6) in a hole that I covered with a quarter from outside to outside at 125 yards. That was my proudest moment... EVER. I'm just not happy with the way I'm shooting the .308 and want to change back to a cartridge I'm more comfortable with. The .308 seems to be a very finnicky load whereas the .243 is rather forgiving. I'm going to keep shooting the .308 until I get my income tax back, then I believe I'll have Steve rebarrel it for me and true up the action. I put a Bell & Carlson Medalist stock on it (had a Choke - I mean Choate) and that helped my groups out quite a bit. Just looking for my comfort level with the gun now. [/QUOTE]
