Every factory rifle I have bought has shot well enough to hunt with , except a 6 mm Remington.. and when it was new I bought 100 gr bullets and it would shoot like a 12 ga with Buckshot.. the dealer that sold it to me dident say anything about not using 100 gr bullets.. I sold it and bought a 243.. it was ok.. the guy that bought my 6 mm remington used 85 gr bullets an killed a truckload of antalopes with it. pissed me off that the dealer diden't know about the twist problem in the new remington caliber.. I really liked the rifle , but never bought another.
