Centershot: I am old and I remember when 1/2" groups were VERY rare from factory guns! That changed when Remington came along with their Model 700 BDL Varmint guns! I think that was in 1967 and from then on "accuracy" was "easier". Nope, I am a "modern Rifle nut"! And always will be - first love in that classification is of "Varmint" Rifles. I find no fault in your inclination to try something else, in fact, it is most likely a good thing - for you. Good luck and enjoy. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy
