i have a nosler model 48. it shoots 3/4" out of the box, with any darn ammo i put in it. this is why i love them. if i had more money i would get an ed brown "damara" in 7mm-08, but i don't so i won't. i can't understand why a "kimber with match grade everything" doesn't shoot even close to as good.
gotta be the barrel i guess.!!
btw, my noser is in 270 wsm with a very light weight barrel, the whole gun weighs 6.5 lbs.
i know i know the kimbers and everything else shoot 1-1.5" on average, and cost 1000 dollars less, but still, come on.
