Great shooting factory guns! Good luck with sale

I have a set of unopened Hornady full length 2 die set In 6.5 PRC I would like to trade for a good set of 280 AI . I just ordered the rifle and only plan to hunt with it , not doing any extreme accuracy shooting so I don’t need match grade dies. If anyone has gotten out of the 280 AI game and...

I have one set of bottom metal for a Winchester model 70 long action the only thing I do not have is the metal that goes in the mag well. This metal is blued and in good shape. 100.00 shipped to you in lower 48.

I bought a used 257 Roberts a couple years ago and I couldn’t get it to group. I have components and ammo left I need to get rid of. I bought the brass off this forum and never used it. I used new factory brass to try to develop a load that would shoot. This brass was sold to me as once fired. I...

I just purchased a Ridgeline yesterday. How's your accuracy?

I have a new in box Browning XBOLT MAX LR chambered in 7 mm Rem Mag. I purchased the same gun last year previous to fall hunting season hoping to hunt with it. The rifle did not shoot to my satisfaction so I sent it back to Browning twice and they finally sent me a new rifle back. I have only...

I had one and tried all different loads and depths and still couldn’t get it to shoot. I tried 4-5 different scopes it wasn’t a scope issue. I called Browning and they recommended shooting 175 gr factory Remington, Winchester and I believe Federal. I bought a box of Remington’s and it still...

I have the Max LR in 7mm mag and can't get it to shoot under 2 1/2" at 100 yards. Tried hand loads and factory. I sent it back to Browning and they sent it back to me with a wallowed out hole target and said it was fixed. I finally got time to mount a picatinny rail and one of my Zeiss scopes...

I'm not shooting compressed loads.

Thank you! I'm the same way. I only had one other rifle that I couldn't get to shoot simply through different load development.

I appreciate the input. I used to bed all the rifles at a custom shop.

Thank you! those are my exact thoughts.

I have tried so many load combinations with no real success. I see a little difference but not enough. It shocked me when the guy told me it's within tolerance at 1 1/2 MOA on a supposedly Long Range Rifle.

I'm not sure what Browning considers the contour to be but to to me it appears to be a light varmint and it is fluted

I bought factory ammo at Brownings recommendation and it shot worse than my handloads
