Giving into temptation.

I bought a SA Socom about 5 years ago. It wouldn't group better than 8-9 inches at 100 yards. I sent it back to Springfield Armory to have them check it. They sent it back with a note saying they had recrowned the barrel. They sent a target with it with a 1 inch group shot a 50 yards. Had my buddy who is a 3 award expert Marine rifle instructor take it out and he still could not get better than 6-7 inches at 100 yards with the gun. IMO, that is unacceptable for a $1600 gun. I have since heard from several gunsmiths that Socoms do not seem able to shoot well. Let us hope this standard model does better.

It's all in the barrel. Yank the Socom pipe and install a decent barrel.

I figure for a $1600 gun it should shoot right as it came from the factory. I sold it with full disclosure to a guy who said "No big deal, I'll get it to group". Hope he did.
