Vertical stringing

[6point5]

A friend of mine has a 30-06 Savage Axis. With 180gr factory ammo he get bad vertical stringing 6" at 100 yards.
The scope mounts have been checked. stock replaced and bedded. Any suggestions on correction appreciated. Thanks

Try a different scope.

Any more details you can share, how many shots fired, how long in between shots, bipod or sand bags?

 

[Mystic Precision]

Consider the shooter - good stable table or prone, little hopping of the muzzle during firing, maybe sandbags or a pedestal rest with rear bag if using a bipod. Is the shooter usually grouping smaller with other rifles?

For the Rifle, open up the forend so there LOTS of room around the barrel. If you can squeeze the stock to touch the barrel, make more room. Maybe the scope?

For the ammo, try another type. Not all factory ammo is going to like all barrels. Reload

Start here and tweak as you get more results.

There is a chance the OP could have a few loose screws.
