Sfii in 300win load help.

[vino]

This is what sucks I have 3600$ investment in this gun and I bought my son a savage 16 / 116 all weather with the 3×9 scope attached from factory 700$ gun and he is 10 years old and out shooting me. Lol.
The penny group is the savage with 130grn barns x
And the sloppy group is out if the sendero @200 yards with 190 accubonds LR factory ammo .

I think your gunsmith needs his tools taken away and retrained as a greeter at Wal-Mart Lol!

 

[vino]

I'm not going to argue. . That's why it's getting fixed buy a different person. .

 

[Rem700addict]

That gun must have potential, with all the problems described you still shot a 1MOA or shade over group at 200 judging from the target pic you posted with not much horizontal spread.

 

[vino]

The good group was the creedmoor with no issues. The other one with a 3 " spread is the sendero.

I've tried Rl22, H1000, H4350 and H4831sc and my 700 likes 190 ABLR's in front of 73 gr. H4831sc and Fed 215m primers. As to coal I measured my space and it is 3.650" so I'm running a coal of 3.640" with groups of .75" or less at 100 yards and 1 to 1.5" at 200 without any sign of excess pressure. Note: this is the MAX published load in Lyman's book.

H1000 and Rl22 worked pretty well with 200 gr. AB's, but the ballistics (path, velocity and retained energy) for the 190 AB LR beyond 200 yards are superior to the 200 gr. bullets.

My 700 was built in 1992 and I have had it for about 18 months and have put at least 300 rounds through it ...I also found that a thorough cleaning with either Bore Butter or JB (Brownell's) also seemed to tighten things up a bit.

I hope this helps.

I just got back from the gun smith.
They said the last 4 years Remington guns have been junk.
I thought they were just not fans. So I asked around and every where I go they say the same thing.
So any way the smith told me. My gun is the worst quality one he's ever seen and was surprised it even shot what it did.
The bedding is messed up the crown in messed up.
There's something wrong with the barrel. And the action is messed up. And the bolt.
So I have to dump more money in a gun i already dislike and dont trust. But I can't sell it like it is.

 

[Don Titus]

I guess the old saying "they don't make them like they used to" applies … I'd get in touch with Remington customer service before sinking any money into it. There's no excuse for the poor quality of your rifle, so I'd raise a little "hell" with the guys in green!! You've got nothing to lose.

Agree on sending the gun back to Remington, they should take care of the problem if they stand behind there product. I have a Remington 870 super slug that shot poorly, called Remington, they sent a call tag through UPS, had the gun back in 3 weeks,and it shoots great. I don't know if I mention that you were shooting reloads, could cancell warranty?

 

[ohiohunter]

Contact remington, it's worth a shot.

 

[vino]

I was told warranty was void dew to the muzzle break and after market trigger?
Is that not true?

 

[6x6 elk]

If it is, they should still be able to work on it, but there may be a charge. Call customer service and find out. The worst they can say is you are on your own.

Ok so here is the updated sendero issue.
They fixed the action and pillar bedded the stock.
Took it out and shot it @ 400 yards.
The gun was off 6" hy and rite so the moved the scope .
Then it was 6" to rh. The moved the scope to compensate
Next **** did not change then they left the scope be and shot again.
Shot moved 10"

They removed the scope and the night force rail and reset the scope to torque specks and loctited the screws. Still 4"6" groups.
They removed the scope and put on a 6×20 leupold.
Sighted it in and now is shooting 1/2" groups @ 400 yards.
So the new 5×20×50 trijicon is bad out of the box..
It is going back to the factory. .
Man do I have bad luck!!
