I'm with Bob on this. If a guy loses confidence in his rifle for whatever reason, he's done for as a hunter. I had one of the first Rem. Mtn. rifles in 7x57. It would not shoot to the same place day in and day out. One day dead bull...the next day 6inches high and 4inches left. It had a proven scope on it. I loved the rifle but after it cost me one of the largest s. Texas bucks I ever saw...I sold it. I don't know where the bullet went but it wasn't even close enough to even wound the animal at 90 yards...thank God. A bad trigger, scope or stock will do the same thing. A man's got enough to worry about when trying to make a good shot, he doesn't need to worry about how his equipment is going to perform. Call me OCD if you want but there's a lot of others out there just like me. powdr
