[QUOTE="D.Camilleri, post: 1189491, member: 2567"] I have egg on my face! This morning I stopped by to see the smith that built this gun for me, Trevor at Cloud Peak Gun Works. He scoped my bore and told me it has a lot of wear, but isn't quite terminal yet, but be thinking about a new barrel. Then he checked over my stock, right away he found the lever for the bolt release was hitting the trigger guard bottom metal. I looked right at that and totally missed it! He told me to relieve my bedding a little on the sides of the recoil lug so the receiver could roll slightly to clear the trigger guard. He also told me to shim my bottom metal to give more clearance to the magazine box so there is no pressure on it. I have a little homework to do. In the mean time, I told him to find me a new barrel. I know fixing this won't fix the poi change that I was having, but it should make my gun group again at least for a while. More to come when I get the bedding fixed. Bigngreen, you were spot on, thanks. [/QUOTE]
