Second time out with Remington ADL Varmint

[Rob96]

Yesterday was the second time out with this rifle in 308. It was to sight in the new Mueller APT scope I put on it. Six rounds and it was sighted in. Groups were running .70 to .78 off of a bipod. This was with Remington Core Lokt 150gr and my handloads of 168gr SMK's over 42.5grs of RL 15. First tine out with this rifle the largest group was .69 smallest .65 withe the Core Lokts. Everyone says this stock is crap but with different articles I read the remingtons with "better" stocks are only doing marginally better. Does it nake sense to change the stock?

I would consider what range you consider yourself realistically shooting at, your groups are already sub-moa, and most precision stocks are going to cost you 500-800 dollars.

You can find some cheaper, for me it would seem like a waste of money if you already have those groups, and considering its the second time shooting the rifle, there is plenty of room for improvement the more you shoot it.

On the range the farthest I can shoot is 300yds. Out on the farm maybe 500yds. Plus I am sure I can tweak the load a bit. Off a rest rather than the bipod I'm sure it would tighten up a bit too.
