Weather Warrior Woes GONE

[AKElroy]

A few years ago I posted that my Savage .308 Weather Warrior Accustock/Accutrigger was disappointing in that it grouped a fairly average 1 to 1.5 MOA. Decent for hunting, but not very interesting. At the time I had a leupold VXIII w/ a heavy duplex reticle. That fat cross covers a bit if target.

Well, fast forward to last month. I re-bedded the accustock to spec torque, and swapped the leupold heavy duplex for a bushnell elite 5x15x50 fine duplex in a DNZ tactical 4 screw mount. It shoots cheap remmy coreloked 150's reliably less than .5 MOA. I had several groups like this one running even smaller 1/3" groups at 100. Wow.

I am sure the round count has helped. It really started coming into its own around 300 rounds. Love the way it shoots now. With this much confidence, my other bolt guns may never see the light of day.

Awesome shooting dude

Glad it worked out for you.

It took 300 rounds for the thing to shoot straight you say?

Amazing what a change in scope can do for results, eh?
No reason for anyone to apologize for using Rem core-lokt. They've been a reliable, accurate round for decades, one of the standards others are measured against.

I had a Parker Hale 1100 lightweight 30/06 that would shoot core locks like that. The gun gave me nightmares trying to find a handload to replicate that performance. Came close but never bested their performance in that rifle.
