FWIW I agree this is a really important point; aiming to have a consistent break across your collection of rifles is paramount for offhand shooting,

I agree.

Having just seen the group I think the OP is JUST A f***ing WINGER

Don't fix what works OK. Be happy.

That out of the box accuracy was unheard of 20 years ago.

Sorry if my post came across as being ungrateful, but I'm not, I think I've got myself a keeper (at a bargain price). The question came up because in my latest session I'd have good group like the one I posted and then a not-so-good group, and then another good group while (to my perception) I'm doing exactly the same thing each time. The guy I was speaking to suggested simply re-tensioning the action screws might fix some of the spread. I'm no gunsmith and I've been out of the sport for a few decades so it got me thinking whether there were a bunch of other little tips and traps worth trying. Turns out the consensus is the rifle is just fine, and I just need to get better (and stop whinging). Fair cop.

Don't worry about OB. He probably drank as much beer as i just have... am.

Point is. Your rifle shoots great. Keep it and save up for an even better one. :thumbsup:

Or. If you're a masochist. Buy one that really needs some work!
