RE: Poor quality firearms straight from the factory.
I guess I' m doing pretty good with my 1" 5 shot groups @ 100 with my 1903 Springfield?
Can' t use custom loads out of it or I might even get better groups. (Too much head space with the thousands of rounds that have been fired through it.)
Just this year I had the stock checked for proper floating and had it glass bedded. The original trigger honed and sear shortened because of the creap.
Next is a new barrel then custom loads here I come. I bet with this 98 year old gun I could keep up with the best of those mass produced rifles.
I' m just particular on those older antiques.
Oh and my .270 Savage 110 it shoots ok with the custom loads that were built for it.
I' ve been thinking of putting them aside and having Match Grade Arms build me an Ultra Lite
