1MOA now. Choice Ammo loads shoot the best (0.8-0.9 in were best groups). Browning long range are 1.15-1.25in groups at 100. I never tried it without the muzzle brake like one person suggested on my thread.
SOLD
EDITED: I decided I'm going to build a 6.8 so I'm keeping the ammo and brass. Updated price.
Only reason I'm selling is because I want to use the funds to start a custom build. This year I've shot two pronghorn in Wyoming and a whitetail in South Dakota with this rifle.

I didn't know a guy could even replace just the springs...I did buy a timney trigger and put that it since the factory trigger wouldn't adjust lower than 3.75 pounds of pull. The trigger job helped as much as anything on it.
I also love the caliber and the short action. I'm not giving up on it...
I ordered the 165 gr Accubond LR from Choice. The rifle likes them okay, my best groups are right at 1 MOA but typical groups are around 1.15-1.25 inches at 100 yards. It worked well enough for me to shoot two antelope a couple weeks ago in Wyoming, but I'm still going to off-load the set up...

Bought it last year but had accuracy issues. Sent it in for warranty work and it's been fixed up and works fine now, but I prefer the scope I replaced it with. I still have warranty card to prove it was serviced. Will...
I have attached some pics of the most recent groups. All I did was put new rings and scope on it and shot. These are by far the closest and most consistent groups I've gotten out of the rifle. With that said, these groups are still above MOA at 100 yards. I've got 3 boxes of Choice Ammo...
Do you still have the muzzle brake on it or did you find without it was more accurate? I have it on my rifle currently. I've been using the 175gr browning long range but also have some 162 gr copper impacts and a box of 165 winchester accubonds. I might test out the copper impacts and accubonds...
My other rifles include a 3006 browning A bolt.With basic federal fusion Ammo I can get the 3006 to group moa or better at 100 and 200. That's why I was expecting at least that out of the 6.8
I took a dremel tool and fine grit sandpaper to the stock and made it so I cannot grab the barrel and stock and squeeze anything to touch. The side tolerances are still tight (not touching) but only a couple paper thicknesses apart.
18in-lbs using wheeler digital torque wrench. There are front and rear brackets and made sure they are indeed on the front and rear. Tightened with the recommended X pattern (upper right, bottom left, upper left bottom right)
I have a Browning X bolt western hunter chambered in 6.8 Western. Scope is a Leupold VX5HD 3-15x44 with the Browning integrated scope mounts. I am tearing my hair out (figuratively, I shave my head) over the accuracy of this thing. I've had if for over a year now. I've shot 340 rounds through...
I tell folks we all have a right to spend our money how we want, and everyone else has a right to think we're stupid for spending it that way.
I bet if you saw the accounts for those folks that always have the latest and greatest every dollar coming in has been spent already and goes out...
I like YNAB (you need a budget) as others have said. It makes you think and analyze not just your recurring monthly expenses, like gas and groceries, but also your less frequent expenditures, like homeowners insurance (if not lumped with mortgage), auto insurance, vehicle registration, etc. You...
