[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1371079, member: 30902"] Been there, done that. I've spent more money on rifles and glass since joining this forum than I had in my entire life prior. You can take a top world class shooter with the nicest, most accurate custom rifle ever built and he still won't be able to hit a sleeping Rhino at 200 yards with a cheap scope that won't zero or hold zero. Check the torque specs for your rifle and set your trigger guard screws accordingly. If you rifle hasn't been bedded already, do it yourself or get it done by someone competent. There are a lot of good threads on the subject here and a lot of good videos on Youtube. There's also a bunch of crap on Youtube as well so if you decide to follow the instructions given in one of them it ain't a bad Idea to post it here and get opinions. I learned to bed my own rifles right here and have been slowly improving my technique for about five years now. Even screwing a few up to at least some degree I at least managed to never weld a stock to the action so I'm ahead of a lot of "Do it yourselfers". This forum is an amazing resource with a near unlimited wealth of accumulated knowledge from shooters, gunsmiths, stock makers, even custom action builders. Such a resource never existed even 20 years ago much less when many of us were "coming up" so utilize it all you can, it will save you tons of time, money, and aggravation and you can learn by our examples and experience instead of the school of hard knocks most of us had to go to.
