What accuracy would you expect from my rifle?

[DamnDave]

Wanted some input on what kind of accuracy you would expect from this rifle. I do handload, but don't know where I should call it a day and stop load developing. Smallest 5 shot groups at 100 yrds were in the low .3's and low .4's at 200.

If you are in the low .3's than stop. You are ready to win matches.

I wish I could do it consistently.

Well if the gun CAN shoot that well, the only thing left to do IS shoot that well. Get some trigger time. Sounds like development is over, time for utilization.

Yeah, I would say you are getting very good performance from a factory rifle. However, there is a big difference between a bragging group laminated for your wallet and an aggregate.

There is no way to evaluate what to expect by listing components. You can have identical (factory) rifles, and some shoot, some don't. BB

Re: What accuracy would you expect from my rifle?

Ok, to be clear you shouldn't post what your 'best' groups are when you ask what accuracy to expect from your rifle. Ive shot a .15 inch group before, but just like your low .3's thats because the bullets decided to land there. Whats your AVERAGE group size. If you shot 10 groups, what would your average group size be.

Based off that you can decide whether to keep tuning and others will be able to give you better advice.
