jjmpElmer, if its new it should do 3/4 to an inch with huntings loads. with great reloads or very good factory loads it should do 1/2 inch easy, many un-known variables in this question, best of luck and keep us posted ...jjmp

xs headspaceLooks like a slight bedding problem. I bought a post 64 30-06 Target that was touching the stock at one side of the barrel. Did a glass bedding job, and scraped off the tight spot in the foreend. Shot pretty good but developed a helluva flinch from shooting 190 gr BTs at a 1000 yd prone match. Rebarreled to 6mm Rem with a 8" twist barrel fromPac-Nor. Shoots 105 gr Lapua into the x ring, if the wind don't blow. Do the dollar bill test down the forend gap, and see if there isn't a tight spot. Mine was very visible, with a bigger gap on one side of the barrel-I think the wood wasn't dry enuf when Win inletted it in '69.

ElmerThe rifle is a heavy barrel target. If I run with it will have another heart attack.

catman-doSorry I thought these groups were shot out of a hunting rifle, and they look good enough for a hunting rifle. No don't run with a target bench gun.
elmer, nothing wrong with that group except that one flyer,she''s showing that she and you can and do get along

great shooting are you going to scope her? thanks for the picture regards jjmp
