[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 111709, member: 1290"] Jimm, I’m trying to get out to go shooting but I wanted to leave you with something before I go. If she says it’s good then sign the release and get the rifle back. At least they will let you keep the trigger. Most other manufactures will toss your parts and charge you to put it back to factory. You never have mentioned what rifle this is or the caliber. Is it the full blown Accumark or the Light weight? Does it have a brake on it? The reason I ask is you still have a couple good clean options to straighten this out but they depend on the info above. Both rifles will shoot. I’m just looking for the amount of expected recoil. Now to track down the problem. I would treat this the same way even if Kirby just said it was fine. Being this is a big one it should be easy to find. The first thing I would check right off and I know it’s not likely but when you optically center the NF, is it truly centered? You can knock this one out while your waiting for the rifle to get back. You will need to make up a set of V-blocks that you can set the scope on and watch the crosshairs for run out at 100 yards. Once it's truly centered where does the windage adjustment end up on the 60 minutes of adjustment? If the scope is not internally centered the above options will fix that too. Just out of curiosity did you guys actually shoot the gun or was this based on a bore sight tool? It doesn’t really matter but it just came to mind. 30 minutes out of whack, you should be able to see that one. That is a lot of misalignment. I would double check the receiver with a good straight edged yard stick. I have a nice 4’ dry wall square that is very straight. I would take the bases off and then put all four screws in and have someone else push the yardstick up against the screws. The end of the straight edge should be centered over the muzzle off to the side by the amount of half the screw heads. 30 minutes would be sticking out the side near an inch at 26”. If it is off I would be back on the phone with Teresa if need be with pictures. I wish you lived closer. I could have you straight shooting in no time. Let us know what you find out.
