I've heard of this, but the Browning's tended to change point of impact when their barrel heated up more so that shooting all over the place. So I called Browning some years ago and asked them why they didn't charge an extra $20 per rifle to cover the cost of squaring up the receiver face with the tenon threads so the barrel would fit evenly all the way around. This prevents the high spot on the receiver face from pushing against the barrel at that point as the barrel expands from heat.I have a friend with a 300 Win Mag A-bolt. The stock is flimsy. I don't like the feel of the bolt. The BOSS seems hoakie. But, it shoots 1" 3-shot groups at 100yds with Winchester ammo. (After 3, it's hot and throws them all over)
LOUBOYD- too bad he was not shooting a sendero or a laredo . he would have had a better chance at least.
LOU - sorry for the misunderstanding i meant the original poster Brees. my M-1 garand shoots real good off the bench . i put a 36x on it; .29 , .31 , .37. at 100. proved it can do it if i point it right
What ammo are you using? How many types of ammo have you tried, and weights? Each rifle is unique, and likes its own particular load. What shoots good in my wife's X bolt, may shoot bad in your A bolt. Remington I've heard will say 4" at 100 yards is within spec, so dont think its just Browning. I would consider more research before condemning the gun. Scope mounting, or the scope itself can be to blame. More info would be great on specifics on the caliber, scope and mounts used, and loads!
I'll ask about the scope. I shoot regular Remington 180g pointed soft point bullets. I have a Leupold III 55mm scope. It used to shoot great. I will call the gun shop tomorrow and ask about the scope and the mounts. I know they checked them because I asked when he gave me the news that he couldn't get it to shoot a good group.

While this is often stated by many folks, there are others who disagree with it, including me.Each rifle is unique, and likes its own particular load.
Judging by the bullet weight, its most likely a 30 cal of some kind? '06, 308, 300 win, or 300wsm? By your comment, this gun shot good at one time but now all the sudden doesnt. That indicates a physical change has taken place. Make a list of what was done since the last time it shot good, and then go by elimination. Did you loctite the scope mounting screws? It is possible the scope is bad inside as well. Do you remove the bolt and run the cleaning rod from the breech in, or from the muzzle in? If from the muzzle, you may have damaged the crown, and that could be the whole problem. Do you run a copper removing agent thru the barrel, or just the standard solvent when you clean it? If everything checks out, I would get a boresighter(not the laser toys), and look at where the scope lines up on the grid, while at the range. REMOVE the arbor and sighter, and shoot a round, and recheck it. See if the crosshairs are maintaining their exact position. If they arent, scope mounting, or scope is the issue. More info from beginning to end would be helpful to figure out whats wrong.
I would be concerned about introducing new variables. How accurate/repeatable is the specific bore sighter that you're about to purchase?I would get a boresighter(not the laser toys), and look at where the scope lines up on the grid, while at the range.
