Problem with wandereing zero.
« on: May 15, 2005, 11:11:14 PM »
Hello. I have had 8 of these H&R NEF rifles. The only one that shot consistently for me was in 30-30 caliber. That rifle when zeroed would always shoot to the same point. The other rifles I have tried would usually shoot good enough size groups but the group would be on target one time then six inches high the next time or to the left or to the right. I cant get one to shoot to the same place often enough to trust the rifle. I forgot about  the 22 hornet I had. It would hold a zero as well as the 30-30. I always used winchester 150gr powerpoint factory ammo in the 30-30. It would always (and I mean always) shoot 1 to 1 1/2 inch five shot groups at 100 yards. Do any of you get the wandering zero problem on your rifles? I suspect the 30-30 holds true because of the low pressure round. But that is just my theory. I would like any suggestions you may have.
I like the cost and the size of these rifles but until I get that solved I wont get another one.  Thanks for the help.
