the nef guns take alot of good tuning to get to really shoot well. i know it might seem like b.s. but i can get my nef 30-30 to shoot under a inch with handloads and matchkings. the quickest way to get accuracy is to first sand the barrel channel in the forearms down. second step is to bed the forearm which is actually easy compared to bedding a bolt action. i have 4 nef/h&r single shots and they ALL shoot under a inch with the right bullet after bedding and a very soft lapping. and that includes my h&r huntsmen muzzleloader
