I just had a 'smith rebarrel my 22-250 with a Lilja heavy barrel. Even after careful break-in, it shot terribly (2" at 100 yds). I got out the Stoney Point gauge, and it shows 0.15" of bullet jump. My understanding is that 0.02-0.04" is more the norm, but the 'smith said there's nothing he can do for me.

I've already checked the usual suspects (free floated barrel, scope screws, ammo, etc.), and I think the culprit is excessively long bullet jump. For this I paid $700???

I returned the rifle to him tonight. He said he'd "look at it," but I didn't leave his shop with much of a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Am I getting hosed?
