I got a Walmart special one time to give to the neighbor's kid. It was a .270 in a black plastic stock with a no-name 3X9. I bought two boxes of 150 Corelok factory loads, took it home and made sure the scope mount and ring screws were tight (they weren't.) I then took it to the range and it too strung shots. I shot two, three-shot groups. Each group had two shots touching and one a little higher, opening them up to about 3/4" three-shot groups. Good enough for a kid.
