Several years ago I had a fellow screw a Shilen match grade tube into a short Sako action for me. The rifle is chambered in 250-3000 Ackley Improved and the stock is a "B-flat" piece of wood checkered by Pat Taylor formerly of Kimber.
The best I can get this rifle to shoot is 1.5 inches at 100 yards. I use the darn thing exclusively for fox and coyotes. I really want a sub-minute of angle rifle for predators and this ain't it. I have had the rifle bedded twice, re-crowned twice and the barrel set back and re-chambered. I have experimented with loads extensively and no the accuracy problem isn't me or the optics.
Could the problem be the action? I am open for suggestions. Any idea what caliber I should go with if I get a new barrel? The magazine has been opened for the improved case. Anyone have experience with the 22-250 improved? Help me here will ya?
