[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 867854, member: 5219"] First off I am sorry to hear of your problem. Many of us have gone through the agonizing process of trying to figure out why a rifle won't shoot. Perhaps one of the members here can help you solve things. If this is a new rifle you might want to go through a checklist of possible issues before you continue to shoot. Regardless of who built the rifle or how good the work sometimes small things slip by. I ended up putting a checklist in my documents to refer to when a rifle doesn't perform as it should: If any action screw holes are blind holes check for debris or bedding material in bottom which can cause a false tightness Action screw bottoming out in blind hole by being too long Holes for action screws too small allowing screw to touch sides of hole Action screws improperly torqued Forward most scope base machine screw touching threads of barrel causing a false tightness Leupold windage style base, windage screws not tight Bolt handle touching stock Mag box must not bind Uneven bedding--- tighten one action screw at at a time to see if the action pulls up at other end. trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger Clean bore and good crown ------------------------------------------------------------- I am very interested in how you solve your accuracy issue. Will be watching this thread. Hope you can solve it easily. [/QUOTE]
