Have had similar groupings with 139gn SST's and 139gn Hornady spbt. Have been shooting off sand bags. It was in near new condition when I aquired it, I doubt it had shot more than 20 rounds or so. After 100 + from me, it still copper fouls badly. Should I lap the barrel? I wondering if I should float the barrel to try and squeeze out any more prescision.

They have fore end pressure for a reason. Especially with original barrels.

I wouldn't float it unless buying a new chassis.

I did one with original stock and made it worse. Bedding it helped but once I bought a new stock it shot to its potential.

Others may have had a better experience. I am thinking of buying one for my son. He likes the blaser a bit much but I dont like sharing it.😆

He will have his FAL soon so need to get him his own rifle.

Love the model 7. Make a great first rifle I reckon.
