i picked up a number 1ab last year in 30-06 and it really took some work to get it accurate. i got some good loads worked up for it but my dealer insisted that they send it to the warrenty center to be worked on and when it came back it became a tack driver. at 300 yards i could average a 1 1/2 group, to me that is amazing accuracy from a pencil barrel. the paper stating the "repairs" from the warrenty center only stated "barrel tuning" but when i looked under the forearm i could see the had glass bedded the tip that contacted the barrel. the rifle is still VERY touchy with what ammo a choose but it seems to like poly tip bullets in the lighter weight range, especially hornady 150 sst's. i also would like the safety redesigned because every time i shoot it, the safety grazes my thumb pretty good.
