brought home a Remington 783 in .243 and picked up a box of 95 grain federal fusions. got it on paper at 50 yards with some old reloads and made my adjustments, moved to 100 for my first group.
the first three shots went into one 7mm sized hole, and two others were just apart from it for a half inch group with the first five shots, with factory ammo.
this rifle was $369 with scope, and then $25 off and then a $40 rebate.
so my $305 rifle drills groups like this. so maybe next time you guys are looking for a truck gun or a starter for a kid or something...$300 never shot so good.
take a look at this 'budget' rifle. it doesn't look like a high dollar rifle because it isn't. but it has a stock with a decent amount of fiberglass in it...not flexy at all. palm swells, adjustable trigger, #2 contour barrel, four shot METAL magazine, and a 9 twist like 243's should have had from the beginning.
if you have to cover your face so no one sees you shooting it, so be it. it will be worth it
