I've got a nice looking lakefield markII and it shoots "ok". It just doesn't "one hole" as it should. I've tried several other such as Rem 597, Anch, and what not that I can obtain .5" MOA at fifty yrds. In fact a TC benchmark I recently tried I had barely .25" moa at 50yds.

I realize for the price I paid for the lakefield I'm not going to obtain some of the accuracy that is possible, but I'd be alot happier if I can get it to group in the sub 1" at 50. I've tightened everything up, ultra cleaned the rifle in and out, checked optics and mounts, tried several different types of ammo. This rifle simply doesn't group as I'd like it to.

What I would like to know, has anyone taken this type of rifle and been able to make modifications at home/gunsmith and greatly improve accuracy? If so what did you do/have done?

Thanks,

SJV

I think if you try different types of ammo you may get some better results , although what you been getting so far isn't that bad. Some rifles favor one brand over another , some like the high velocity , others do not . with my .22 's i use remington "yellowjackets " their flat shooting and group pretty well . good luck Joe
 
Do a 'cheapo' barrel float. Put a small piece of credit card plastic in between the receiver and the stock at the front of the receiver. This will raise the barrel up out of the channel. And make sure you rest the STOCK on the rest, not the barrel.

And trigger, trigger, trigger.
