[QUOTE="ofbandg, post: 1755921, member: 91402"] Lots of good diagnostics here. I have been using Rems for 40 years and when accuracy goes south I check scope screws and barrel contact. They are the usual problems. I use locktite or epoxy on bases and sometimes the weak locktite on scope screws, if a problem is recurring. All my barrels float but sometime not quite enough for a warm barrel so I make sure at least a business card will fit all the way to the action. The front action screw contacting the barrel threads, as has been previously mentioned, is an accuracy killer for sure and a binding mag well does the same thing. Also, the large Rem trigger can sometime bind against the stock, as well, if the screws are continuously overtightened. Sometimes I use a flat washer for the action screws, between the floor plate and the stock to sort this out and other times it needs re-bedding. These problems happen more in wooden stocks, especially older one that have been "oiled" and stood up in a gun cabinet. They get a little punky around the tang. Lots of good posts on this one and I think you will probably solve your accuracy woes without too much costs involved. [/QUOTE]
