[QUOTE="trailrider121, post: 1717973, member: 24966"] I have several of these rifles and they shoot great. Currently two of them have been modified with different barrels and shoot great. My brother on the other hand bought one, I bedded the stock, ground off the tabs to free float the barrel, stiffen the fore arm with carbon arrows using epoxy. I squared up the recoil lug prior before bedding. Modified the trigger to just a tad less than two pounds and is nice a crisp. The rifle shot consistent 3/4" groups using blue box federal 130 gr ammo. His hand loads using 130 TSX and H4831 shot 1/2" groups. These rifle will shoot but needs a little work. I say do it, and make sure the action sits in a non stress bedding. I use all-thread for the action screws using same thread pitch and tape them to where they fit snug in the aluminum pillars for bedding. [/QUOTE]
