Ray, my bad, my original question may have been ambigious; Maybe I shouldn't have asked the question.
Hunter, check your PMs ...
Thanks for the heads-up; I checked and saw several that I didn't know were there. Thanks to each of you who shared information via a PM, and to those of you who shared comments above. I look forward to trying the suggested steps, in hopes of one day stumbling into the realm of the quarter-inch group -- at least once.
You'll just have to break out your 6ppc if you want to see sub .25 MOA accuracy ?
Is .25 MOA, realistically, attainable with a factory gun? If it is, do you have any suggestions as to powder and bullet?
Cooper varmint, no modifications (haven't even lightened the trigger from its current setting of ~ 2 lbs); shooting 28 gr of N133 in Lapua brass w/ 62 gr custom bullets, seated out to where just a smidgen is in the neck; using bean bags (front and rear) and a Weaver 36 scope, and watching wind flags. Load obtained from prior gun owner. I don't know how he arrived at that load; however, I saw him shoot a 493-9x with that load. My only score shoot resulted in a 486-13x (dropped 12 points at 200 yds); my only group shoot resulted in a 100/200 agg of .6032 (no laughing, please ).
As before, is it realistic to think .25 MOA is attainable with a factory gun?
Recently, I started shooting a factory 6PPC, and I'm no where close to .25 MOA. Is .25 MOA, realistically, attainable with a factory gun?

+1 for my 6PPC by SAKO (S/N 098).The three 80's vintage Sako PPC USA 'A1' or 'BR' models I've experience with have sustained 1/4moa aggs...... I've never seen another factory rifle equal this.
The title of this thread is a quote I saw on the 260/280 thread. I thought of sending the author of the quote a PM; however, I thought it would be nice to get more than one opinion -- thus, this thread.

Is the Cooper a pre-owned rifle. If so , how many rds down barrel. I think Cooper rifles have Wison barrels. Don't know anything about Wilson barrels, but I have a friend who owned a Cooper 22-250. This rifle shot fantastic, .3" to .4" @ 200 regularly. After 600 rds the rifle quit. .6 to .9 and larger.
