Ok here is the deal got the rifle in hand this morning. Mounted an EGW 20 min base on it. the base says its for a rem 700 long action but appears in everyway to fit perfectly. steel ringsand a burris XTR 3-12 scope. Went to range rifle shot well in beginning then something funny started happening it would shoot two to threre good shots then the point of impact would go up about 3 or 4 inches. I kept thinking ok maybe its me, but i am a fairly experienced big bore shooter and after several shots where i put my best squeeze on it it happened again. I assumed the alluminum scope base to be the culprit, but upon further inspection i found that the rear action screw was loose to the point i could stand the rifle up on its buttstock and wiggle the barrel back and forth slightly After tightening it back down i only had two rounds left the gun came with a box of factory 200 gr which would be worthless anyway so i will have to wait till my dies arrive shortly. Is anyone here familiar with the workings of the mark v trigger this one appears to have an external adjustment allen screw but that is al. I put it back in stock and tightened very snug does this rifle need loctite on action screws
