remington 7600/7615 accuracy

huge · 02-29-2008, 07:57 AM

Hi Guys,
Have had my eye on a new 7615 for a while for pigs here in Oz. All reports that I have read suggest that accuracy is around 2.5" at 100yds.
Has anyone got one ? What sort of grrouping do you get? Can this rifle be 'accurised' like a bolt gun can be to improve its performance?I ask these questions because I need a rifle with at least moa accuracy, firepower, and fast reload capabilities. Semi autos are out as is anything without a detachable box magazine. The ammo also has to be reasonabley easy to procure at a reasonable price.
Have thought about a rebarrelled military bolt gun, but still stuck with long action and burning more powder than required, but hey sometimes you gotta do it.
At present when I go pig shooting there is a .30/30 and a SxS 12Ga down each of the forks on the bike and a model 700 .270 across my back. May sound a bit of overkill, but that amount of firepower gives you the versatility to take out 14 pigs without reloading.
Most mobs are twice that number and the name of the game is feral animal eradication, not sport shooting.
Any thoughts appreciated,
Huge

The barrels on the 7600 is free floated. I have shot one in 270 and accuracy in a brand new barrel is around 1.5" MOA with factory ammo. I think you will find that you will not have to do much to it to make it shoot well. That is great hunting accuracy right out of the box. Of course, YMMV. (your mileage may vary)
