[QUOTE="Dosh, post: 858033, member: 70363"] Ycreek, did you use Locktite on the scope mounts and the action screws? When you get the torque wrench (in inch pounds) torque all screws and record the amount you used. If you try another scope use the same recorded settings on it also. Torque settings can be found on this site or just Google them. Then try minute of elk's #5 thru #9. I personally am not a fan of the plastic stocks and suggest trying a laminated or composite stock bedded if your new rifle still does not perform. Bedding epoxy will not stick to the plastic stocks. My son's 700 in 7mm shot nearly 4" groups with the plastic stock. He ordered a Boyd's laminated stock $114 delivered, 9 bucks worth of Marine-Tex and with some hand loads shoots sub-MOA. Good luck [/QUOTE]
