Remington SPS Tactical not grouping well

[ellmerfudd]

Hi mate i have definatly opened it up enough, there is loads of gap at sides and underneath the barrel and need loads of pressure now for anything to touch, and trigger i believe was set at 3.5lb before being sent to me

What woud you advise i have the trigger pull set to

OK, well sounds like you have opened the channel up enough. Maybe shooting it in is the answer. Takes a few rounds (sometimes up to a hundred) for some rifles to settle-in.

Mine still has the original adjustable trigger (the one that was subject to recall, but so far I have not had any cogent response from the Remington agent in NZ - he keeps referring me to a web-site which is no longer active - and mine is working fine anyway). I just removed the adjustment screw entirely.

I had the action bedded professionally and also replaced the bottom metal with H & S Precision so I can use their 10 round detachable magazines.

Well i have been out today an put another 100 rounds through it and guess what, it is now grouping 3shot groups all under the size of a 5pence piece i am absolutly amazed and sooooooo happy

Which bullets did you use?

Those two groups were with Hornady Vmax 55gr but i did some other groups only fractionally larger with some RG surplus stuff aswell
