So -- not everyone loves that SAAMI 204 throat. I knew I wasn't nuts.
No sir you aren't nuts.
See a lot of factory 204 fat barrels on the used market.
Hawk R,
I can consistently put 3 shots into .25 @ 100 with 3 different Coopers.
Sorry your 204 was a bummer. Seems the norm.
IMO , it is not the 204 chamber that is the culprit , but in this instance a crappy job by Remington putting the rifle together
I see many , many fat barrel 223 on the used market too, hell plenty of 22/250 as well....doesn't have a thing to do whether they shoot or not
I only have 3 factory 204 myself , all shoot sub MOA with ease
