I have also owned a few and I could get every one to shoot very well. All have been 90's vintage or newer as I got on the No.1 band wagon late. I have found some to be somewhat particular about what they shot well but never the less accurate. I had a 25-06 1B in particular that would only shoot 117-120 grain bullets at max and nothing else worth a damn. 87 grain varmint bullets would group at 4-5 inches but, 117 or 120's loaded at max would bug hole all day.
