I have a new production Model 70 sporter in 30-06. It consistently only groups about 1.5-2.5 inch groups at 100 yards from the bench. I've tried several different types of ammo, hunting and match with all similar results. I do not believe it is the shooter in this case.
My question is what would be your first thought? Would bedding the action help? I know that back when the model 70 was first produced, a lot of rifles of that era required bedding and gunsmithing to get them really accurate. Not sure how much has changed since then with the current design.
What really sold me on the rifle was the return of the controlled round feed. It's a gorgeous gun, and the fit and finish are very nice. I just wish I could get it to shoot well.
