I think I might have gotten a lemon when I had mine. I bought a brand new BAR Safari grade in .25-06 a couple years ago. I bought a Burris base, Burris rings, and a Burris Fullfield 4.5-14 scope on it. It was a beautiful looking rifle. But for some reason, it wouldn't group for anything. It would go from one side of the paper to the other in the same group. The groups were so bad, I'd say I was shooting 10 inch to 11 inch groups at 100 yards. I bought a lead sled thinking that I might have developed a bad flinch. I'd hold the hairs right on the X and still shoot horrible groups.
I ended up selling to someone who said that they could get it to shoot better. Something about the forend screws being too tight or something. Last I heard, it still wasn't shooting good for him.
Most people talk about good accuracy from them. I probably just had a lemon. Beautiful guns though, especially the Safari grade with the engraving.
