I am wanting to know how others shoot. right now my gun is shooting poorly...about 2-2.5" at 100yrds. i'm just curious if there is anyone else out there with the same problem. I've been trying alot of things and haven't found out the problem yet.

look into the lockup between the upper and lower, you can get a cam action pin from J&P that will take it out, mine had a trigger change almost immediately, check the crown on the barrel & make sure its even with no burrs. mine shoots the 60-63 grain bullets substantially better than it does 50's or 55's. make sure you retighten the scope rings on the mount, the rails have a habit of needing a 2nd tightening.

replace the rear pin with one that takes the play or wobble out of the upper & lower,get the pin from jp, not the cheaper wedge,then try some 60-75 gr. bullets

Brownells sells them as well. (thanks butchloc) I ordered a couple to see what affect and on my RRA, my 50 gr VMax and 50 gr nosler BT now touch (3 shot groups).

Only issue is getting the right tension on the pin so it doesn't open up during shooting. Mine opened up (lost tension) after about the 15 round. Mkaes it s bit more difficult to claen, but it worth it.

Haven't tired it on my R15, but that is next.
