[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1453148, member: 12995"] I have that exact same rifle. I would suggest loosening the action screws and then re-torquing them to 65 inch-pounds. Also, if you know how, Dev-Con skim-bed the action and make sure the barrel is free-floating. All these things should help you thoroughly enjoy your new 5R Milspec. The biggest one was the trigger, but you already got that covered. I also recommend EGW HD 20MOA 1-piece bases and Seekins Precision 30mm Low rings. Also, I wouldn't buy steel bases and rings for anything, unless they don't make 7075 T6 aluminum rings and bases for your rifle... Which both EGW HD bases and Seekins rings are made of. :cool: [/QUOTE]
