ok- so i bought a winchester model 70 7mm, and the groupings at 200m is atrocious...
i got this weapon with the idea that those pesky zombies would be dealt with before i needed to deal with them... but a 6
in group is no good!
so i shot my buddies remington 700 .308 and was encouraged- its not me- its the rifle...
the questions are thus:
would the caliber matter much (looking for around 500m consistency)
is the bull barrel responsible for my 3 in groups?
what, in the $4-500 range, would give me the best performance under ideal conditions (no wind, match ammo, decent scope, etc...)
keep in mind i am not a professional, but i am a decent shot- range daddy trains me well- just want to be confident in my shot...
all constructive criticism and suggestion are welcome.
