[QUOTE="adiredneck, post: 858908, member: 43329"] I know it's not a 243, but I have a model 7 in 7mm-08. Last year I could barely keep my groups under 3" with that rifle. Just when I thought I had it shooting good, my groups would open up in random directions. I almost brought it to a gunsmith, but decided to tweak it myself first. I ended up removing the pressure points from the end of the stock where they were touching the barrel. I bedded the last 1" of the receiver, recoil lug and first 1" of the barrel with JB-weld and have had excellent results. Before bedding, I placed a small piece of copper wire under the recoil lug that raised the end of the barrel out of the stock enough to be able to slip a piece of paper under the barrel. My latest target is attached. I do love the rifle. It is such a great gun to carry. [/QUOTE]
