Remington 7400 Semi Auto Rifle, Caliber 30.06

Remington 7400 Semi-Auto 30.06 Rifle

 
I got this rifle from a friend, traded a Kawasaki 400 motorcycle for it, in essence, but the nature of the relationship is that I would return the rifle if asked.  It is a complicated issue, not in need of discourse here.  The rifle is a recoil-operated automatic but is missing the clip.  I took it on the back 40 and shot at a sighter chart marked off in arc-seconds at 100 yards (inches) and shot three 3-shot groups as carefully as I could from a rest. 
 
Group #1 was 150-grain
The group was 8.3 arc-minutes wide at 100 yds
Center of the group was 5.6 arc-minutes off the bull
4 arc-minutes to the left
3.5 arc-minutes low
 
I did not change the scope adjustment for the subsequent two groups
 
Group #2 was 150-grain
The group was 4.8 arc-minutes wide
5 arc-minutes low
3.8 arc-minutes left
 
Group #3 was 180-grain
The group was 7.5 arc-minutes wide
Left/Right was dead on
4.7 arc-minutes low
 
These are figures for the Center of each group
