[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1499852, member: 95344"] I had rifles that did what yours did. Skim bedding cured it. It's a quick way to check stock fit and rule out issues. There are two other "ideas" that people have suggested. One was suggested to me that the bullets hasn't stabilized at 100 yards and starts to further down range. Brian Litz doesn't agree with that rule of thought and I think if memory serves me right suggests it's a shooter issue and groups stay the same because the shooter increases their focus at longer distances. In any case I had a Interarms 243 that would shoot tight and open up one round horizontally and skim bedding cured it. My pushfeed M70 FWT 30-06 holds 1.5 MOA at 100, 200, and 300 yards. I haven't checked on paper beyond that but it hits small water bottles on the 450 yard berm with 180gr PT's so I call it good. I'd try a skim bed and then increase forend pressure like HARPERC suggested. If you have access to a borecam that's a good idea too (sedancowboy). [/QUOTE]
