    Got sick of the ugly brown a while ago and painted the stock black, eventually got sick of the ugly black so found some dulux granite effects paint at bunnings so gave that a go. It flicks out black...

    250670 250671 Looks betterer to me, if grouping improves I'd still get the bore scoped before getting it professionally crowned.

    As fault finding and nothing to lose, try polishing the crown before you get it cut back. This is diagnostics time, as I said you are looking for improvements not a complete fix! Brass round head...

    That be one of the worst looking crowns I've seen lately. Could be worth a go with a brass round head screw and some lapping compound. Jam an earplug into the muzzle level with the end and with a...

    I'd definitely send it off to smith to get the crown redone to eliminate that factor. It looks beat up to fuk.

    As has been said the crown looks rough, it also appears that the rifling is damaged/not straight just inside the muzzle (about halfway down the visible part). Maybe the muzzle end of the barrel has...

    Before you send it to the smith. alot of Remington rifles unbedded (is it bedded) shoot terribly without some form of barrel pressure point at the very foreend of the stock.. slip a business card up...
