Hey guys,
Im a newcomer to this forum but have used this site for research. I recently purchased a new remington 700 sps stainless in 25-06. Ive been out shooting with it several times in the last two weeks. I cannot get it to shoot any better than a 4" group. It has been very disappointing. Ive kept the gun very clean as i do with all my rifles. Ive tried four different reloads varying from 90 grain hollowpoints to 117 grain hornady sst's. I have also tried two factory loads; 100 grain core lokt, and 110 grain accubond. Im starting to think i may have just gotten lucky on that single 3 shot 4" group because all other groupings have been punching holes all over the paper and some not evening hitting it! I put a nikon monarch scope 3-12 power on the gun so one wouldnt think that is the problem but who knows. I have also had a buddy shoot it just to make sure it wasnt me. Ive been careful to wait a couple minutes between shots and am miticulous in my reloading procedure. Im taking it to a trusted gunsmith in town to see what he thinks but any help, tips, or any info will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
