Three shot groups...  I bought that rifle at Christmas and there was a wicked cold front that had settled in our area just then.  I took the rifle home, ran a patch down the bore, mounted a 3-9x40 scope and snatched a couple boxes of shells from my ammo cabinent.  It was late evening by the time I got to the range.  I threw my rifle rest on the bench, trotted down to the 100 yard line, stapled up a target, and loaded the magazine with some 100 gr. handloads.  I fired three on target, noted the position of the group, made some scope adjustments, and proceeded with the 100 grain bullets until I was dead center with those.  BTW, it shoots those 100 gr. Hornady Interlocks nearly as well as the Remington 75 gr. factory loads.  I was already pleased by the groups with the 100 gr. handloads and then I fired this group with the 75 gr. factory load.  Looking through the spotting scope I kinda figured that must be a fluke so another three shot group went down range.  That was danged near a duplicate of the first group.  Alrighty then, I didn't move a thing and just went out killing stuff with it.  Everything from crows to deer.  And never a choke or jam of any kind.  I guess I'm just lucky when it comes to BAR rifles.  My steel frame .30-06 has the same boring story.
