[QUOTE="ultraedge, post: 799503, member: 36257"] To reduce the dry firing jump , swap the firing pin and spring assembly. I have 7 custom rifles built on LA Rem 700 actions and Sendero stocks . They all had good accuracy potential, but when shooting from the bench I had to hold them differently to obtain the best groups.The ones with no dry firing jump could be held normally, but the ones with dry firing jump had to be held tighter with downward or side pressure applied to the stock to obtain best results. I discovered that by swapping firing pin and spring assemblies that the problem was corrected. This does not last forever, because the spring pressure changes over time. All springs do not work the same in all similar rifles. A firing pin and spring assembly that does not work well in one rifle may be entirely satisfactory in another. The assembly can be changed in a few minutes with only a dime. Gary [/QUOTE]
