[QUOTE="Snowbird, post: 1110475, member: 87588"] yes, cold bore is just my first shot. i no longer clean my rifles every trip to the range. i rarely shoot more than 20 rounds per trip, so about every 4 trips i run some frog lube through for powder fouling. if i can't do that, then i'll at least bore snake it. i was on the 200 yard range today but that was due to overcrowding on the 100. my other range that i shoot 100 paper and steel to 800 was closed due to fire. as far as the group size goes, i feel the group is plenty acceptable minus shots 1 and 3. i can even handle shot 3 but i want shot 1 to be the same poi as shot 2. #1 really surprised me but it was the first shot out of the new stock. i wondered if the rifle could have been seating itself somehow. i will bed the stock as you suggested but have been reluctant to do so because of both the strange recoil lug and i wanted to shoot if first to see if it was worth keeping. i have seen some contact near the end of the stock with the barrel, so that may have been my initial vertical string. i still can help but think i should have grabbed a boyds stock with the adjustable comb. my savages that have boyds stocks from the factory are real precise shooters.
