Rem 783 Shorty price and timeline?

Oh wow, that does not sound like a good group with any 223 ammo/rifle setup. Was the barrel free floated while you were shooting? I was shooting off a bipod (not a sled) with my Savage B22, but I noticed that as I was moving the butt stock of the rifle, the front part of the stock would be touching the barrel. That alone threw my groups from 1-1.5" at 100M to 2-3" groups.

Thanks a lot for the post, and keep us posted.

I did initial zero using my Harris bipod. Got to about 2 inch groups. Was a little concerned so had my long distance shooting friend use his sled....and he got 3 inch groups. Other friend with same rifle shot 3 inch groups on the sled as well. He used Hornady Superformance Varmint Ammo . 223 Remington 53 Grain I used bulk .223 ammo. Will check with other brands of 55 gr....

Thanks for the tip. I will have my buddy watch and see if the barrel is touching anything next time.

I had good results 3/4" groups with Hornady steel match 55gr. 3" with Barnaul 55gr.

Wow, maybe it's ammo as no way both rifles shot 3" groups....Both rifles were purchased a month apart as the 2nd one wasn't in stock and had to be ordered in so it won't be the same batch....
