PLEDGEY 496 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 As it says above. Are they any good?. Talking to a bloke today in the gun shop and he was saying that they are hit and miss. Some people buy them and they are good out the box with the right ammo, and he had another guy buy one who ended up getting rid of it because no matter what he tried to put through it it just didn't group well. I'm thinking if they are that hit and miss no one would even bother with them. He recons that to be sure of a good 204 you got to have a Remington with self loaded rounds. Anyone got any thoughts on this?. Quote Link to post

tegater 789 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Any factory made standard barrel can be hit and miss, regardless of calibre. Hand lapped barrels with precision home loads will be way different! The biggest errors though are often with the nut behind the butt. Quote Link to post
PLEDGEY 496 Posted November 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 This might be an off the shelf gun, but he self loads. If he shoots at the same target with factory ammo is he gonna get the same results?. What they like with factory ammo?, don't wonna' self load. Quote Link to post
