Good morning guys, I don't post a lot here but I picked up a used 22" Proof Carbon Sendero-Remington 30/06 action from the post exchange here. It had low round count and I checked it with a bore scope and it looked to be in great shape. I worked up a load with 190 Bergers that shoots .5 or better MOA for approx 4 round but then shifts the point of impact 3 inches low and will put 2-3 rounds in a .5 MOA group. I thought it needed bedded or something that I am not skilled at so I sent the gun to Tooter Meredith for resolution.
As of right now Tooter has fully bedded the stock and is trying to find the resolution but it appears to still be shifting after I talked to him last night. I have read a few posts on impact shift after a few rounds but I have 5 other Proof Sendero barreled rifles with no issues. They can shoot 10-15 round strings with no shift. I did the normal swap of scopes, bases, rings and the things I could do at home. I run Nightforce scopes, bases, and rings. I'm not upset with the seller at this point because I bought a used gun and I have had really good luck with Proof barrels. My GAP 6.5Creedmore shoots 3/8 MOA with 20 shot strings. I am in hopes it is not a barrel issue since I bought it used and I doubt Proof would offer any assistance with it but as stated above, I have several Proof Carbon barrels with no issues. Has anyone had this similar issue? Several factory ammo combinations have been tried but I run the 190 Berger at 2890fps. I apologize if this issue has been found before and I just missed it.
