When I first got my .308 Survivor I was disappointed. Over 3" groups @100yd. I then followed the Handi basics from this forum.
1. Did the O ring thing, this completely free floats my barrel front and back from the screw
2. Lapped the bore with JB. I would say at least 500-600 passes in barrel
3. Lightened the trigger some by just pushing on hammer as per instructions. It is crisp and good
4. Changed scopes to a Mueller 2x7. Love that scope (the other scope was a Bushnell Legend that
works fine on my other Handi .223 ( small groups also) it was not the scope.
I allways sight in at 25yd. (one hole) with 150 gr. Federal ammo. this gives me 3 in high @ 100yd, approx 2" high @ 200yd and dead on @ 250yd.
I got this from an old book by Jack O'Conner and have tested with this and other guns.
My last 3 shot group @ 100yd was around 1/2 in. Hard to believe.
Thank you all for your help. Without this forum I would have traded it away and bad mouthed Handi's.
I believe that if NEF were smart they would put a reference to this site in their instructions and their website, and put Quick and some others on the payroll.
