[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1014018, member: 50867"] How much "float" do you have? Sometimes the rifle shoots well with factory torque settings that don't pull the barrel down tight enough to generate conflicts between the barrel channel and the barrel. Then, when it's torqued just a little tighter, the clearance is taken up and the stock interferes with the barrel "free float". Check your free float to make sure you've got [U]plenty[/U] of clearance from barrel lug to front of the stock - more is better than less. [/QUOTE]
