When I first bought a 25-06 I really scratched my head. You can read about it on my web site. I traded that barrel away for a 223
barrel that was not much better. I then bought a brand new 223 which did not qualify in accuracy for a varmint rifle.
I had both these barrels rebored and rechambered, they are now super accurate. I have two Handi's now that will shoot along with any bolt action hunting rifle.
I can feel for you H&R put out a lot of poor workmanship. But most of them can be made to shoot realy well with sometimes very little efffort. Reading my web site will give you a good idea what can be done or what needs to be done.
I have spelled out procedures in great detail and all can be done
with simple hand tools and a bit of patience. I don't believe it takes a hundred rounds to break in a new rifle. What you want is a solid conected system no loose joints. A clean latch shelve and a latch that is supported across its whole width.
There is a lot of help on this board so give it a break. I could offer to fix your rifle and tune it, but shipping firearm across the border is a no no.
If you don't feel like doing some of things needed to make these rifles shoot well, then you should get rid of them, and buy a cheap Savage bolt action.
