This is a rifle put together from parts.Model 12 single shot, SSS recoil lug,22" select grade barrel,Savage "tiger Shark" stock, Burris bases and rings,20x SS scope(known to be good).
Shooting from a fixed bench using custom front rest(16lbs) protector rear bag.
Method 3-5 rounds wait 10 minutes shoot again.All groups if you want to call them groups are horizontal @200. The barrel is floated as is the tang and everything is tight and secure.The barrel crown does not catch any fibers from a q tip so I have to think it is good.
Like I have stated I have pretty much run out of things to try, I even talk with the guy at Sierra and he seems to think the 155's should be fine and that there is something else going on.
I may try again in a few days but first I need to clear my head so I can start over.
