Thread: Remington accuracy

@CamFlatt I have had the same issues but not quite as big a spread with the shots probably about 4-5 cm spread. I spoke to @Flyblown and he suggested pillar bedding and free floating the barrel. My rifle a SPS 243 ended up shooting a lot better at around 14-15 mm at 100 yards. If you do this you must be careful drilling out the main screw holes so that the pillars will fit and make sure they are square and not crooked. Cut the pillars so that they are flush with the holes then the action will sit on them and when tightened up they will prevent the stock crushing and give the action a solid base to sit on.
Make sure you remove the plastic bedding blocks under the barrel and make sure the barrel doesn't touch right back to the recoil lug. Run a piece of paper between the stock and barrel and make sure it doesn't touch anywhere along the barrel to the recoil lug.
If all the other suggestions don't improve the accuracy this might just be the answer. I ended up using light steel tube as I couldn't source any alloy tube, the steel works but a bit harder to work than alloy would be and it would be a little heavier but not noticeable. From memory the front pillar was about 19 mm long the rear one was 33 mm.
