I shot a ten round 1in. group at 100yrds.centerX. No one else was even close(2doz.shooters). All the problem I had with mine turned out to be cleaning and ammo issues. It took me awile to figure this out, dont give up. I just won an informal open centerfire match at my club with my TT. I shot a ten round 1in. group at 100yrds.centerX.

It took me nearly 2 years to find the time to get this rifle to the range but the results seem respectable. Since I was cleaning and shooting and cleaning... due to the barrel being new, I think it shot well. Bore sighted at 50 yards with one shot an inch high and moved to 100. A few shots and a few mil clicks later and I had a three shot group at 3/8 inch along the top edge of the bull. Zoomed in the scope from 12 to 24 power and hit two shots in the bull at 3/16 inch. Went to 200 yards at roughly 5 inches high. Then 2 shots an inch below the bull at 3/8 inch. Then shot 2 more along the top edge of the bull 3/8 inch. I understand that 2 and 3 shot groups are not a qualifier for consistent shooting, however, the gun did group and I really enjoyed shooting it. For now I will not complain. I was shooting Fed 168 GMM. Bushnell 6-24 FFP Elite 4200 Scope was mounted in Burris X treme rings on EGW heavy duty base. RO suggested using sand bags instead of bipod so sandbags it was. I did not clean between the two shot groups so that I could stay focused. 90 degree heat. No breeze. Bristol Shooting range in Southeast, WI. Art will get you on paper with the first shot. Also shot two rounds of Trap, and 50 rounds of 9mm. What a great day! I shot my TT today for the first time.

I live less than an hour from the Remington plant so I'd be on their doorstep demanding answers if it wasn't what I thought it should be. Think I'm gonna shy away from the TT, seems like plenty of other goodies out there that will suit me just fine! Really liked the look of the gun but if the performance might not be there.....no thanks!

After my second time sending the rifle back due to inaccuracy Remington told me that the spec on the rifle was 1.5 MOA and that if the rifle was within that accuracy wize they had satisfied their obligation to me. I have the paper from Remington with this info on it and would gladly send you a copy. You're gunsmith can probably fix the problems if you getter a clunker but thats another $500 at least on top of the purchase price. Who needs that. cLIFF:

It seem like it's a coin flip whether you get a good one or not. Half the people love them and half hate them due to problems with the barrel and accuracy. I'm just not willing to take a $2000 chance in buying one so thanks again for sharing your unfortunate experience with it. Definitely will be looking at others including the Sako you recommended. Pete,

Look at the Sako TRG22. I have this rifle in both 308 and 338 (TRG42). Out of the box .250 moa or better. A little more money than you may want to spend but an absolute shooter out of the box. If you look around you can probably find one for $2300 or so. Well worth the extra 300. THe TT is very sloppily assembled and manufatured which is why some of these rifles shoot and some just cause heartbreak. Horrible bedding, horrible machine work,por fit causes rounds to walk plus th barrel contour will not allow for the groups to stay put as the barrel heats. Don't take a chance. Cliff:

That said, I sometimes wish I'd spent a bunch more on the Les Baer version. It has a great barrel and action, comes standard with the bipod, bedded action, a super detachable magazine system, and HD scope-mount rail. (All of which I've added to my TT, except the barrel & action.) Oh well, now I'm saving for the Les Baer Ultimate Match AR-10 version. All of the above, lights-out accuracy, plus the convenience of a semi-auto! Like most older shooters, I have a safe full of retired rifles, kept around for sentimental reasons. Time to swap some of them out. Cliff:

I have read some of the comments and reviews about the Remington but does anybody have any gun time with the Kimber? Does anyone have any other rifles they would recommend? I'm trying not to spend more than $2000. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Please help me stay sane and chose something before I go crazy not being able to make up my mind! Thanks fellas.

Would print a good 3 shot group then it wanders off an inch or more for a few more shots, then wanders in a different direction. I tried just about everything I could and have concluded the barrel is CRAP! Changing over to a new REMAGE match barrel (savage style) from Mcree Precision. Put one on an old action and the thing just drills them in there. Even had a .434" group at 300m. If I ever buy a another Remington again, it will be re-barrelled immediately.

For almost two years I've tried at least six brands of match grade ammo, hundreds of rounds, could not get this rifle to group. I'm talking 2-4 in. at 100 and always getting worse as barrel heated up. You can imagine my disappointment. I paid well for a tack-driver. I should mention that I have a lupold mark 4 on it so(not the scope). Someone at the range suggested that I (put it away wet) clean it well and run a swab with bore solvent through it and put it away.(Dry bore before next use). I got a great deal on some Fed.168 Gold Metal match and headed to the range to try it out. Im not really sure which it was but this rifle will now consistently shoot 1/2in. groups at 100 and u nder 1in. at 150. AMAZING. This monster is particular about what it eats.

Brooks Barrel, Manners Stock, PT&G bolt with Timney Trigger. Needless to say I took a soaking on the trade but got the new gun for about $300 more than the fix on the TT was going to cost. Already shooting 5 in one hole at !00yds, less than 1" at 200yds and 2" at 300 yds with Fed Matchking with no cooling of barrel. Broke 10 clays pigeons set up at 400yds Sunday with 11 shots, also with matchking (not bad with an average variance of .3 tenths of a grain of powder in 10 rounds of matchking I pulled and checked, one round had a full grain more powder, no wonder you get a flyer occasionally).

Total cost was about $250 for one magazine, either a 5 or 10 rounder. Easy to load mags and easy insertion and lock up in the rifle. Drops free. Mounting the bottom metal takes a little careful fitting, sometimes a small shim is necessary under the front receiver assembly mounting bolt; or a little metal removal from the bolt shaft to keep it from contacting the barrel. Kevin did it in about 2 minutes while I watched. Zero malfunctions. Pounded the rifle hard at Thunder Ranch. Easy to load mags from prone, always had several ready to cycle. Kevin also sells a dummy magazine block made of hard rubber, which allows single loading by simply dumping rounds into the chamber bay--much easier than dealing with the magazine follower and getting rounds cock-eyed more often than not. Sorry to you who have been frustrated by this rifle's performance--mine has been a dream to set-up and shoot. I will be anxious to start benching it this spring to see what it is really capable of.
