[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 895204, member: 5219"] I just helped a friend sort out his Ruger which also didn't shoot. He put on a new barrel and had it bedded. I discovered that the front action screw was bottoming out in the blind hole! We used his pedestal grinder to shorten the length and it now shoots bugholes with his new Kreiger barrel. Wish all fixes were this easy. There are two ways this could happen. Bedding material got into hole or bedding ended up being lower in stock. Some other tips that might help: Middle action screw should not be tightened just snug enough to hold triggerguard in place. My checklist: Check front action screw hole for epoxy Action screw bottoming out in blind hole Ruger rings not properly placed in intregal bases Poor crown, optimal way is to check with bore scope Action screw holes in 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 bedding (rocking action) trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger uneven bedding--- tightening one action screw to see if the action pulls up at other end. Action screws properly torqued Clean bore barrel having adequate clearance where it is supposed to be floated [/QUOTE]
