My point is that, given reasonable loads, a good rifle will shoot. I bought a Remington 700V used once, and it came with some ammo. I was alarmed at first, because it shot 3" groups. Then I shot some of my own loads. With almost no load development, it shot most loads under 0.5", with a few in the .3's, just using 50-52 grain bullets.
I haven't done any load experimenting with this one so I'm not ready to give up.
I've actually really taken to the rifle.
I don't know what it is about it, i've got others that shoot better with common easy to find factory loads. but this one doesn't shoot terrible & i haven't had the time... or haven't given the time to really find the best I can do with this one yet.
I've had others... a m70 coyote in 22-250 most recently that I simply couldn't be happy with so I sold it.
But I actually feel pretty good about this M77 .264, I think It's going to come around. Just got a feeling.
