so whats your complaint?? 1" groups out of a 7600 are probably about the best you can expect.......some get better, but a whole lot get worse, do you handload? I have a great load worked up for mine if you do.

Can't help you with loads I don't own an '06. I do own a 7600 in .35 Whelen, with handloads I get 1 1/2" groups at 100 yds. Plenty accurate enough. I'd be happy to get 1" groups out of any rifle with factory ammo.

If its a 1" group at 100yards well then Merry Christmas your ready to hunt. I dont care what type of rifle it is bolt lever etc... 1" group= confidence on any shot you take.

I use a mate of mines and I load for it as well but the best ammo we have found for it is the Winchester 180gr silver tips.

Mine shot really well with the Federal Blus box ammo in 150 grains. They are loaded with Speer Grand Slam bullets. You have a great and very dependable rifle there. I have had four of them. They would all shoot 1 1/2 inch groups or better with almost anything I ever tried for ammo. They would all hol one inch with their best loads.

i own one in a 30-06 and before i put the scope on it i shot remington cor-lokt 15gr with iron sights and shota .4" group at a bit over 50yds and i think thats phenomenal for iron sights. I havent tried the groups at 100 yrds with the scope but i think it should shoot tight groups.
