I had a issue with mine found out thetorque specs and what was torque order was .changed scopes rings etc used accutips couldnt get it group . You have to remember that these are hunting guns not bench rest most people are happy with dead deer accuracy
I had some help with mine setting up by a great member who had sighted in dozens. There were a couple key factors that helped me achieve sub moa.
1. Let the bore cool 5 mins between shots (no joke with a timer). 220 has a thin barrel and does not take much to overheat.
2. Torque rings and action screws to manufacturer specs.
3. Run a bore snake through every 3rd shot for plastic fouling from the sabot
4. I used a lead sled, only bc of the high cost of ammo.
A tip I also use is to buy the cheapest boxes to get on paper out to 50 or so, then pull out your premium to dial it in.
Mine loves 3" accutips but I know another that will only shoot 2.75"...? Not sure why or how that works.
Once you have it done, it's neat to know you could take a 200 yrd poke with a shotgun with confidence!

I will post back in this thread when I get the accutips to try. Might take a month or two.
You make a blanket statement there. My 870 20g shoots Hornady extremely well. You just have to establish what round your gun likes. It can get expensive though….Quote:

Go, go, go!
I don't think it was mentioned before, but check that the factory picatinny rail is good and tight and torqued to 20 in/lbs!!
I just put a scope on a brand new one, but before I did that, I thought I'd better check that the factory picatinny rail was properly installed. To my big surprise, the screws were not tightened down from the factory and unscrewed with no effort!! They forgot to torque them down - they were not even snug. And there was no blue Loctite of any kind.
If I had installed the scope, I too would have definitely started to get terrible groups and blamed everything else but the rail.
Give it a check!!
Accutips are discontinued since federal bought remington ammo division apparently.
lol and I never got to put one accutip down the pipe.
75y max gun now. O well it looks nice.
