I have a Ranchland 20" in .308. I have been careful breaking it in and have managed to get a couple of 1" groups on a good day.
This is the question. It has a Hogue stock and is supposedly free floated. The trigger is very nice and I have a Nikon Monarch 5-20x44 on it. I think however that the rail mount is backwards as the elevation had to be moved several inches to even get close to being on at 100 yards. I should say it was way low, hence my feeling that it was mounted backwards.
Here is the real question. The barrel is a light sporter. I am not so very worried about that as the length, 20", eliminates the whipiness that comes with longer barrels. Would a recrown substantially improve accuracy? I know that a hunting rifle only needs coffee cup saucer accuracy in reality but I love to be able to put holes in paper really close together. It is not a need thing but a want thing.
So tell me how to make it that way if you would. Your ideas would be much appreciated.
