Why doesn't my rifle group?

[@tjfishing2714]

I restore and fix a lot of Rifles. Had a new 270 that average group was 5 inch ! I tried everything was returned and response was the barrel was the problem. I inspected the barrel and it looked perfect . SO much really great information . Majority of Rifles i get that dont shoot is loose Action screws especially at the front ,the second is the nut behind the but as a wise man once said.😊👍

Have seen many mil surplus guns with damaged rifling at the muzzle. I’ve attributed it to careless / indifferent cleaning from the muzzle, while in service. Have found cutting the muzzle back approximately 1/4” - 6 mm, and recrowning, improves things… Thanks for sharing. Cheers

Yep, thanks George

Great info Mark. Easy to go down the rabbit hole and make assumptions without checking the basics first. Thanks.

Thanks Josh

I had a scope mount come loose once due to no locktite. I take all those things with me now in my range bag just in case. Good lesson learned.

Great information, for me I started having more fun shooting when I quit shooting at a dot on a piece of paper and started shooting steel. Easier not to get caught up on group size shooting steel targets.

A friend (not me, honest) was experience random flyers in his 22LR. He took it to the gun shop, and found the supressor wasn't screwed on tightly, and was moving slightly every time the rifle was fired! Since then, I always check that on my suppressor!

I have a Remington 700 in .308 I bought years and years ago. It has never grouped well with any bullet weight, so i just put it at the back of the safe and never shoot it because i have a lot of other rifles that shoot very well. I think the best I have ever gotten out of it was maybe a minute and a half to two minutes. I should probably try to figure it out one of these days...

[@markandsamafterwork]

Yep, Cheers Man

In 1976 my uncle gave me his 30-06 that he brought back from the second WW. The first shots at the range for me was not too good. I was expecting it to knock me on my butt. It must have taken at least 2 boxes to be comfortable with it enough to group good.

Thanks Pete, Cheers

Thanks Andrey

[@earlyriser8998]

i have had my sights come loose during shoot. Now loctite on everything. I use match grade ammo for zero and stunned by how bad other ammo can be.

My girl holds her rifle a bit off. Shoots 1½" groups 99% Everybody tells her she's doing it wrong. Makes me laugh.
