I bought a rem 700 223 from a member here quite a while ago. Cannot shoot groups better that 15" or so at 100 yds. I noticed on the bipod the stock would contact the barrell . I clearanced the stock a little with no affect. So next up was to switch scopes. No affect. Choate tactical stock. Guess what?? No affect. Ive inspected the crown and bore as well as I could and saw no obvious defects.
My next course is to send it off. if the problem is in the crown I would have the barrell shortened. Otherwise rebarrel it. I might also have the actioned trued whiile Im there.
Ive already exceded the value of the gun in time and money at this point but I cant sell it . I either have a cool paperweight or keep spending.
So to make a longg story even longer. Does anyone have any suggestions, or coul you reccomend a Gunsmith?
TIA Tom
