I bedded a friend's Savage Model 12 RBLP 223. Beautiful rifle and the skim bedding went like a dream - great fill and mirror finish on the bedding, a slight relief on the sides of the recoil lug and also in front of the lug. I was VERY impressed with the fit and finish of the new Savage and the HS precision stock although the factory fit of the aluminum bedding block was kind of loose.
Gun shoots lights out but has developed a strange habit. It is shooting 5 shot "one hole" groups at 200 yards from the bench, but the group has two separate one hole groups within the 5 shots,i.e. 3 shots in one tight hole and 2 in another tight hole about 1" away). This seems to be a rather routine thing for this gun.
He has changed scopes with no change in the guns groups and has changed bullets and powder - still two groups of one hole sizes within each 5 shot sequence.
My request is - why? I have not shot it yet, but at first I thought is was the scope, but that did not help.
