[QUOTE="RS0802, post: 1559414, member: 103380"] Hello All. Hoping for a few opinions on the following issue. I purchased a CA Ridgeline in 300 WM. Bedded the rail per Broz's method. Dropped the rifle in a Manners EH1 with mini-chassis. Finally added a CA Slayer brake. I started load development with 208gr ELDs and 215gr Hybrids over IMR 8133. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/95C6P3j.jpg[/IMG] I've tried everything the long range forums mention but the rifle in the manners stock will not shoot below 1.25 MOA. Frustrated I decided to test the rifle with 215 Hybrid, 80.4gr IMR 8133, Fed215M, and once fired w-w brass. I fired one group with the manners stock and one with the factory stock. Group 3 - Manners mini-chassis Torqued to 65"lbs and 45"lbs per manners. Edit. I did try several groups with 45"lbs. Same result. Group 4 - Factory CA Ridgeline stock 35"lbs [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/cN2PCXi.jpg[/IMG] The difference is noticeable. The only similarity is shot patterns. So after pouring over the stocks. I'm not convinced the recoil lug is touching the chassis. If I push the rifle until the recoil lug touches the chassis. It appears the screw holes are slightly off. How should I go about testing if the recoil lug is touching the chassis? [/QUOTE]
