Spent some time working with my Remington 700, M40 build checking if tightness of the action screws would improve accuracy...
My initial testing showed me this...
I went with the 40 front/35 rear torque, back to the 100 yard line. 3 groups 5 rounds each. First group top left was clean barrel/cold bore....
To the 300 yard line today...
Not so much joy. Thats a 3 inch circle (1 MOA).
The cross hairs cover the circle but holding so the 8x11 paper is quartered gives a good sight picture. The target below (6 inch circle) actually lets me see the aiming circle at 300 but I figured go for it with the 1 MOA target.
Tomorrow Ill shoot same excercise/same target with an M40A1 and see how things go.
