[QUOTE="Wapi-T, post: 21235, member: 152"] Thanks for the replies. The action is torqued properly into the stock. The accuracy problem was present both with the factory synthetic stock and the HS stock. The barrel appears to be aligned perfectly in the stock with no barrel-to-stock contact. I have used at least 12 different varieties of factory ammo, ranging from 200 grain ballistic tips up to 250 grain partitions. The 250 grain loads have been the least accurate on average, the 225 grain loads have been more accurate, but still unacceptable, and the 200 grain load yielded 1.5" groups. Problem is, I don't want to use 200 grain ballistic tips for hunting. If I were to take the gun in to have it accurized, what should I look to have done? The trigger has already been adjusted to 3 lbs, the stock should be good enough (right?), what should I have the gunsmith look at doing first? [/QUOTE]
