[QUOTE="zoeper, post: 207772, member: 10682"] Job done and it went much easier than i first thought. I opted to install stainless steel pillars as well, and as i drilled out the plastic ones, they just pushed out the bottom of the holes. Epoxied the action in the stock one evening and bedded the magazine box the next evening. I took it shooting the next morning and after two fouling shots i took two shots @110 yds. (one perfect hole) took it up to 165yds and printed a 1/3" group. Then up to 220 Yds and printed 1/2" for three shots with two going through the same hole. This was much better than what i expected, so to verify i took another three shots @220 Yds. This time it opened up to about two inches, but in an almost perfect horizontal line. considering that the wind was by this time pushing quite strongly in the direction of the drift on paper i am putting much of the blame on wind. Considering that i'm using a fixed power (6x) scope with the crosshairs covering just under 2"wide on the target @220, i reckon it to be mission accomplished.The cherry on top was that in Saturday's competition I was one shot from full score and that was a shot that i pulled just right of the score zone.I'm definately going to do my other one as well!Thanks for the advice RoyP [/QUOTE]
