Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing 740 Woodsmaster

This is a 5 shot group I shot yesterday at 100 yards using factory Remington corelokt 150 gr. psp's. The hole I circled was the last shot from a previous group while I was attempting to zero it. I then let the bore cool down till it was actually cool to the touch and fired the shot labeled 1 at the top of the pic. The following 4 shots that I labeled were the order that they hit without letting the barrel cool (about 30 second for all 5 shots). I knew that these rifles tend to string when the barrel heats up but I was under the impression that shots would rise. This totally contradicts that, the first shot was the highest and then it dropped and they started stringing to the right with very minimal rise. It shoots better groups than my fathers 740 .308 and way better than many other stories I have heard... needless to say, I am tickled. If I roll my own and add that accuracy block it should be a pretty durn good shooter.



sorry... evidently I deleted it, I'll repost it!
