Just wondering if anyone else has ever had issues sighting in a Henry All-Weather 30-30, I picked up a new one a week ago, and tried sighting it in with different types of factory ammo.
First I tried with the original buckhorn sights, but ended up having to nearly bump them right off the barrel to get on paper and could do any better than 12" group @ 100yds. Then I bought a scope and thought it was maybe just me, even now, no better than 10" groups @ 100yds.

I've sighted in many guns in the past, including 2 of my own .300wm, my sons .308, and my wife's .308, all of which shoot sub-moa groups, I know what I'm doing.
Just wondering if hand loads would make that much of a difference or if the barrel is defective?
Any help on this would be extremely appreciated since the store has a NO return policy, so I'm stuck with it.
Thanks.
