[QUOTE="cstilt, post: 329480, member: 19720"] I recently bought a Savage Mark II stainless in 22LR to help me hone some of my shooting skills, and because I love squirrel hunting. So far I've tried 4 types of ammo through it and it shoots well enough to start. After a few groups I start to get vertical stringing. Today my first group was roughly 0.5" or so, didn't measure it. Same box of ammo towards the end and about 75rds later was about 1.25", but that was all vertical. The width was roughly the same 0.5" of the original group. If anyone has any similar experiences with this and how they fixed it I'd love to know. I wouldn't imagine a 22LR would heat up easily enough to cause that. Barrel is kinda free floated. The recoil lug is dovetailed into the barrel, and the stock presses onto the barrel between the receiver and the lug. This appears to be purposefully done from the factory. Thanks, Chris [/QUOTE]
