Didn't like a clean barrel either, so one shot always went down the tube before going out into the killing field. 25-06, shot 5 inch, 5 shot groups with factory, but MOA with neck-sized only hand loads from fired brass. For that matter, my first Ruger (77V )Tang in. I have two Tangs, that both, with bedding and free-floated barrels, went from not so good (3+ or more) to 1.25 MOA, or better with some hand loads. The factory wood was not cut deep enough under the recoil lug and I guess when everything was torqued it put something in a bind.Ī little stock gouging and a tube of JB Weld or Acraglas might have fixed the original. I swapped it into a boat paddle and it immediately shrank the groups to down around 1". I have a 257 Roberts Hawkeye UL that was terrible in the factory wood, good groups were 3" normal was around 5". I never saw the Zytel stock as an accuracy-limiting factor. It might have shot better, but recoil was about all I could stand. I had one in 35 Whelen that shot 1 MOA with 250-grain Hornady RN bullets at 2,550 fps.
