Shot some 30yr old 130gr Rem corelokts and it would group them .80 shot the Win Power Points 150gr. into .65 groups and that was without letting the barrel cool down either. MAGA! This is the way!

I watched him sight it in and once he was centred he started shooting groups under an inch. He let me try it and the one group I shot was well under an inch. (factory ammo) The next time I saw him at the range he had another one in .308. He was so impressed with the first one he went back to pick up the second before the store ran out. Jim

Sub half-inch, out of the box, with factory ammo. Nifty-250 "If you don't know where you're going, you may wind up somewhere else". Yogi Berra

I picked up an Icon in .243...most accurate out of the boxd factory rifle Ive ever had...no bedding, no trigger work etc...just put bullets in it!

OP Buck1919 Campfire Greenhorn B Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 98 Minnesota, USA	That is my next dilema. Something in the "mid" calibers. 270-308. The shots where I hunt are normally 150 yards and less... max would be 250 yards. I have 243...280...308 barrels for my Encore but they can be sold. I also reload so I have bullets for .243 .277 7mm. and 30 calibers. So I would rather get something that uses those bullet choices.

Maybe the 7mm-08 could be loaded soft for the girlfriend? I always hear of erratic performance with the .243, or is that internet myth? Last edited by Konaseven; 03/21/12.
