Lousy accuracy! Guess I'm gonna have to junk it and start all over! Untitled by Sharps Man, on Flickr Five shots from 600 yards. I've been shooting 150 gr. Nosler Accubond but I'm running short of those so since I've got a schitt-pot full of 155 gr. Sierra Palma bullets I loaded me a couple boxes to keep in the truck with me. Had to make a slight correction on the zero but these shoot pretty well with 47 grs. Varget. This is the 7th 5 shot group I've shot with this rifle from 600 yards over the last six weeks and all seven could be covered with the knuckles of my fist! VS308 by Sharps Man, on Flickr

I see the problem. Your bolt handle is on the wrong side.

Looks like you need to trim 5" off the barrel and recrown just to be sporty. 🙄.
Great shooting by the way

It seems you never hear of those heavy barrel Remington's shooting badly. Extra bonus points for shooting from the proper side

Nice shooting, and not unusual for the Rem 700.
Well done. Thanks for posting this!
