if you dont be carefull noneones going to listen.
so it heats up shootsd good 1" and smaller groups, cools off then shoots 2 foot groups. that right there tells me something is up with either the rifle or shooter both. probly a combination of the two.
i have never owned a rifle that shoots that horrible and couldnt even begin to give you any tips. i do know ive had a scope or two shake loose and stay inside of 2 foot groups at 100yds.
first thing i always check would be the scope, but like stated before that normaly wouldnt get better between groups.
but shoot good and bad groups tend to rely alot on luck. so i still wouldnt say the scope is out of the question. what kinda scope is it.
technigue, ammo. scope, bedding, time of day, time of month, wethere theres gona be a full moon tonight. all have everything to do with group shooting.
what remington rifle is this, what scope, what range, what ammo, is the rifle stock, did you know it shoots 2' groups when cold, before you took it hunting.?
pie plate acurate works to whatever range you can hold a group inside of the plate. wether that be at 50yds or 500. 2ft at 100yds woulkd make it pie plate acurate at around 12"s off the muzzle. makeing this rifle unfit to hunt anywhere.
maybe it should be sent back to remnington.
there are so many options and variables you can take and you make that decision not anyone else. everyone here is trying to help and ARE listening. youve been given alot of good info. more than most ever figure out on theyre own.
right here you can search or post questions. take info for what its worth use it or decide its not for you. i for one can tell you 99.9995789% of the time the info is dead on
