hello fellow members, i had been looking at these rifles for sometime and thought they would make an extremely friendly sheep hunting rifle. I purchased one in the 6.5 creedmoore and was expecting to have a quality shooting gun. Not so much, mounted the gun with a conquest 5 Zeiss and went to the range.
The bore sight had me on paper at 100yds, great i figure after the first shot.... Make a few adjustments to narrow the zero.. shoot and ok its in the ball park.. cleaning the gun after every shot with butches bore shine as to break in the barrel.. after 8-10 shots the gun isnt tightening up at all 4-5" and nothing grouping..
the trigger pull from the factory was horrible, felt like 10lbs... so i stop shooting the gun and blame the lack of accuracy on the trigger and i just cant hold it together.. take it home adjust trigger to a nice clean 2lb pull. Back to the range and no better results... now doubting myself and gun... went and bought a new scope thinking that something must be broken or loose inside... put a leupold on and back to the range... i have now shot 2bullets shy of 3 boxes through this pos gun and still shoots terrible...
Im shooting hornaday 129 sst
Is this common in this gun or did i just get a lemon??
