I reload for my .260 remington Rem 700 lss mountain rifle and I got frustrated with only being able to get 1" to 1 1/4" groups with my reloads. I took it to a very respected gunsmith he said the 3 point bedding is perfect and and is recommended for the lighter profile barrels in lieu of free floating. He did say the first 1 to 2" of my barrel is pretty rough compared to other remington factory barrels they have seen. He actually didn't recommend any work be done as he thought it might be too much for too little improvement.
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with fire lapping like the Tubb's finish system and if it would help in this situation? It is still a wonderful $7/tag deer rifle but may have to find something else for long range more expensive hunts.
Thoughts?
