    What Would You Expect?

    Hey guys and girls,

    I'm interested in your thoughts on what accuracy I should expect from my new bush bushpig. It is a Kimber 84 chambered in 7-08 with a 14" barrel and DPT suppressor. I took it to the range yesterday to zero and couldn't get repeatable groups.
    I was shooting factory Hornady Superformance 139gn rounds doing about 2850fps over the chrony.

    I was worried something might be loose so cranked up the screws on the Talleys and one of the screw heads snapped off! As a result I'm not too concerned with the performance I saw yesterday as it could well be the scope jumping around a bit thats causing the issue but it leads me to wonder what type of accuracy I should be looking for.

    I am planning on doing my own loading and trying to get something to shoot well but wondering what you reckon I will be limited to noting the fact it's a light rifle with a short barrel? I can shoot well and know my loading is on point (put three rounds in the same hole at 100m with the rem mag yesterday).

    Also any ideas on the way ahead with the stuffed rings? Guess I take it to a gunsmith to drill out the broken screw and find a replacement?
