But I'll try to do better next time.
Again, accuracy of the rifles in question has nothing to do with the problem that led to the settlement of this class action lawsuit! I would hope anyone that does much shooting or hunting would know that the trigger is one of the key components to shooting good groups with any firearm! If you have a heavy pull, creep, etc. it would be almost impossible to shoot accurately like your pictures show. When I put a Timney in my 03A3 sporterized 30-06 the groups went from 1 1/2 MOA to under 1/2 MOA just by eliminating the heavy pull of the factory trigger the military had in it. There is also no question that if the Walker trigger is working properly along with everything else needed to shoot good groups that you can do what you are showing in your pictures. However, due to it's design if that one-of-a-kind fire control connector in it doesn't come back into place the inventor himself found out that misfires can happen. The scary part is that it happens at random and can't be replicated. That's why the inventor asked the company to add a safety feature shortly after it went into production in the late 40s and they finally went with the X Mark Pro trigger in 2006 that is presently under a recall for problems people also have been encountering with it. The ironic thing is that in this settlement Remington has agreed to replace millions of the Walker triggers if people come forward that have them and join that settlement with the X Mark Pro! I just want all those who have Remingtons to know that they need to have their rifles looked at, cleaned properly, etc., or preferably replace the trigger with a Jewell, Timney, or other trigger of their choosing. That, however, still doesn't eliminate the fact that people need to properly clean any firearm to keep it in proper operating condition. Happy Holidays to you!
