I surrendered to the much publicity roughly 10 years ago showing the Rem vls .243cal. I was hooked. I ordered it from the Uk to Ireland. Hell it wouldn't shoot inside 2.5in circle at a 100. I did what i did to my Ruger, pillar bedded, free floated etc. Nothing changed only different paterns on target. What i believe, if only we could read what our FACTORY rifles are trying to tell us, perhaps it would be possible to accurize MOST of them to acceptable accuracey .75inch grouping using quality factory ammo. before we begin to loose heart in the rig, and save a hell amount of time and hard earned bills! What i cannot undrstand is how did a Ruger hawkeye find itself to europe with a bolt that wouldn't even eject the casing! This meant that it hadn't even been checked in the factory before shipment. The only conclusion i could come up with. Factory rifles must be manufactured so quick that the havent time to even check their mechanics. Customs rigs are of course excluded from this saga.
