[QUOTE="Black67, post: 1037652, member: 41359"] Evan, you could sell me the Winchester :) I have a few Winchesters, and they can be a bit touchy at times. My Model 70 STW shoots 1/2" groups with factory ammo. I would also check all of the bolts and screws are tight. For the scope bases, I would use a torque wrench and tighten them too 20 inch pounds. The scope between 15-18 inch pounds. I would also check to make sure that the stock is on good, and check those bolts/screws are tight. I would torque these up to about 30 inch pounds. For all of these, I would walk up to the point specified. Get all of the bolts to the torque at a lower setting, then reset the torque wrench higher, repeat. Do this until you are at the specified torque setting. For the factory loads used, what ones were they? For the 150 gr Nosler bullets, what ones did you try? Hope some of this helps. Bill [/QUOTE]
