    According to Frank de Haas's book the CF2 action was the same length from 222 to 300mag. I had a late model and it was disappointingly the same I think. Mine was in 222 and had a big spacer in the...

    As already stated low ES doesn't guarantee a good group, conversely high ES doesn't necessarily give a bad group, well at 100yds at any rate. High ES will certainly affect vertical though at extreme...
