Looking for a good gunsmith!!!! For my 300 win mag

[Rock30golf]

I need a good gunsmith, Some one who will listen to what I want!!!!!! I am getting 1/2 groups @300 yrds. I am just not that happy with that. Any help would be nice.

Half inch groups at 300 yards and you are not happy? Doens't sound like there is anything wrong with the rifle to me.

[lancetkenyon]

Sounds more like shooter induced error to me.

[cactusjack]

Im with Lance on this one. Probably need to watch more Youtube sniper tutorials. That or more range time on Call of Duty.

[pwrguy]

I'm pretty sure he meant 1/2 yard

[AzPlumber]

Maybe only 1/2 are in a group

[5guyshunting]

1/2 a$$ed?

[Rock30golf]

3 shots all within 1/2 to 3/4 inch groups. but you get past 400 yards it all over the place. And no it not operator error. lol

[metau]

So 1/2" group at 300 yards and then a 12" group at 500 yards? Way more information about what the actual issue is would help people point you in the right direction.

[W.O.T]

Solution.... be one of the "sheep" on this forum and keep your shots to 300 yards or less. Win-win

Complete rifle info?

Complete load info?

Complete set up info?

Complete environmental/shooting conditions info?

Complete shooter experience info?

 

And I mean complete.

Copper Mountain Rifle works.

In all honesty, with the zero information you have given, here are my initial thoughts on why a rifle could shoot 1/2" groups at 300 yards, but completely open up (since you haven't given a definition of what that is) at 400+.

 

1. Bullet instability

2. Parallax issue with scope

3. Poor consistency of ammunition

4. Shooter induced error

 

Like the famous quote from Jerry McGuire says, "Help me help you." Give us details for an educated & informed answer. There are a ton of guys on here with a lot of shooting experience. All they need is data to help solve the mystery.

like everyone has said spill your guts on everything about your load you're rifle and your experience a lot of guys on this form have a lot experience with shooting long range or just shooting in General !

 

Don't take any of the comments to heart it's fun banter but I'm sure you could come up with an answer if spill everything !

 

And there's plenty a good gunsmith in the state but I don't think you need to go that route yet .

My guess he doesn't have a parallax adjustment on his scope.
