[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1266442, member: 5219"] I hate it when I come across a troublesome rifle. I consult my check list to remind me what to do: Check front action screw hole for bedding material or bottoming out (in some rifle models) leupold windage style base windage screws not tight Forward most scope base screw touching threads of barrel.. imperfection in crown action screw holes in wood stock too small, drill larger so sides of action screw won't touch Bolt handle touching stock Mag box must not bind Recoil lug making early contact in bottom of bedded slot causing the action to sit off bedding Front of trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger Uneven bedding (note if it isn't bedded get it bedded!) tightening one action screw to see if the action pulls up at other end. Use bore scope to inspect barrel for flaws or poor crown. My gunsmith showed me a Rem barrel with a missing piece of the lands, in the middle of the barrel, that was over 1/4" long! Inspect fired case to see if it is concentric and true, could have bad chamber --------- let us know what you discover. [/QUOTE]
