[QUOTE="alcesgigas, post: 973174, member: 34925"] Ah yes indeed Chandalar; Ring Beach it is. Your moniker confirms why you know! Steeltraps: when creating or responding using attachments you just drop down the page and left click on MANAGE ATTACHMENTS. A window will pop up and a list appears and all say BROWSE. Click one--it opens your photos--select one and stay right on that page until you see the BROWSE you clicked on now has your selection. Close only that window, PREVIEW your post, and if all's well SUBMIT. There's specific posts on this site that provide instructions far better than I--you might want to check one out. As for your rifle--we know that's all good! I did get to put 15 rounds downrange yesterday. I was surprised at how much change in my zero the bedding bolts (stock or action bolts) resetting delivered. I forgot to mention that after that first mile (1823 yards) I checked my stock bolts and found that the front--recoil lug--bolt loosened up where it took about three turns to tighten. The center (just hand tight on M70s) was unchanged as was the rear (tang) bolt. I removed--first the recoil then the tang--and put Loctite (blue, 242?) on each and reset them. I'll be rechecking them in the shop today. I ended moving left 6 milrads and down 3 milrads and resetting the levers (Premier Heritage scope). Shooting results: 2887 average with and ES of 26 using 106gr of H-US869. The best ES was with 105.8gr averaging 2878--ES of 10. Disapointing in one way, but overall I was pleased that groups were back to normal and that scope adjustments were positively consistent. I'll keep going up chargewise, but in increments of .1gr now over 106. It's on-and-off rain/pour so I'll be waiting again. [/QUOTE]
