i wish the 30-06 Winchester model 70 s.s. i own was more consistent with groups ,i realize most people would be happy with the groups that this rifle shoots and yes probably good enough ,but i have always been fussy with my own hunting rifles for accuracy.so once i get a new Brux barrel on this 30-06 / Winchester rifle i will do some stock work and this rifle will shoot much better than it did , i had a 22-250 that shot bad too that i replaced the barrel also . ,just won`t be ready for this trip barrel won`t be here till end of June from Brux barrels . my Remington 700 Tactical 300 Win.mag. has always shot extremely well right out of the box , but this 700 should for the price i paid for this rifle 10 -15 some years ago. our tickets are purchased for the airline so in 2 weeks we leave for S.E. Africa ! thanks for all the positive posts . Pete53

old barrel was 1 1/2 inch at best 3 shot groups sometimes 2 inch, the new Brux barrel is being machined & installed this week under 1 inch consistent with my handloads probably will do even better than i expect probably . my 300 Win. mag. Remington Tactical shoots consistent 3/4 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yds all the time with my handloads with many different kinds and brands of bullets ,sometimes even 1/2 inch ,but this rifle now that i am 70 with bad shoulders is kinda miserable to shoot without the muzzle brake too.
