[QUOTE="Buffalobwana, post: 2574402, member: 123662"] - - - - - - - - - - - ISSUES RESOLVED - - - - - - - - - So many good ideas. I hope this thread is a help to others too. I believe I have solved the issue. I went for the most obvious (to me) issue which was the way the can mated to the mount. I think it was just loose enough to cause vibration issues. I never liked the way it locked up. Apparently, Silencerco didn’t either as they discontinued that mount and went to an ASR mount with actual threads. I changed mounts and cans from a Saker to the Omega. Now, I’m confident of the lock-up. I had suspected that my oversight of not taping off the front, sides and bottom in bedding the recoil lug was an issue. So I relieved it with a dremmel. I might touch up the bedding there … but why? It shoots .250” - .750” groups now. No sense in messing with a gun that shoots. I also switched to shooting 165’s. A bullet I never tried before. The Sierra Game King HPBT. It shoots great, Three groups .280" .675" .735". So now I have an accurate hunting round, though, I’d prefer to shoot a 180. It shot 168 Nosler CC’s very well. .340" .360" .690" So now I have a target round that pretty closely duplicates the hunting round at 100. Will have to see how it holds up at longer ranges. I did shoot the 180 NAB, it also stayed under an inch. Shot three groups. .730" .865" .950". The .950 was because of a bullet that lost its tip on chambering. Tip got jammed in the chamber at the shoulder. Wouldn’t chamber the round. Then group opened up by .250”. So all three should have been about 3/4” groups I shot 2 groups of Hornady Soft point factory rounds. .550" & .725" Pleased with these two 180’s as it shows me that 180’s will shoot well in this gun. Hornady factory 180 SP - 2 groups .550" & .725" 165 Game King HPBT .280" .675" .735" 168 Nos CC - .340" .360" .690" 180 Nos Accubond .730" .865" .950" Thanks again to everyone. So many good ideas on troubleshooting in this thread. [/QUOTE]
