[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 899444, member: 30902"] Having the actions screws tight doesn't equal "torqued equally". back them off and then use a torque driver to tighten them back up to the same setting on each. You didn't mention what stock is on it or if it's been pillar bedded. Differences in cold bore shots generally come either from inconsistencies in the ammo, or how the action/stock melding is done. If the screws are not torqued the same then the action is going to bend somewhere. If it's a cheap factory plastic or wood stock it's going to change with weather/temps and from being pushed/pulled/torqued by the shooter trying to get braced up for the shot; especially in the field. The other of course is the least popular to discuss which is shooter error. It's one thing to shoot off of a bench and another to shoot under field conditions when you are out of breath and can't really find a good steady rest. [/QUOTE]
