ORIGINAL: herman
I don't doubt that there are many that shoot good but the 2 I have had wouldn't hit a bull in the a--.
I shot the 270 wsm again tuesday and the best I could get was a 1 1/4 in group @100 yds with different loads,my shooting buddie that shoots a lot better than me tried and couldn't do any better.
If you want another one I will make you a good price on this one.
What the heck is the matter with groups of 1-1/4" - that's dang good accuracy for any
out of the box sporter. The 270WSM is a big game cartridge, not a varmint cartridge!
I think too many folks these days have got some ridiculous/unrealistic expectations for mass produced factory rilfes. You want more accuracy, get a varmint style/heavy barrel rifle, or spend the money for a custom job.
BTW, if you have a rifle that, out of the box, shoots 1 MOA or better, treasure it - it's rare.
