[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1458913, member: 5219"] Okay Azrael I'll list them. First of all I am not a gunsmith but do much of my own work. I have many friends that come to me for help with their rifle's loads or a problem. This list is probably incomplete but checking these items has helped fix some inaccuracy issues. Often I encounter the obvious, the action screws are loose. Action screws should be torqued to an inch pound value. Check front action screw hole for bedding material or bottoming out Leupold windage style rear base windage screws not tight Ruger rings not seated properly in bases Front scope ring base screw touching threads of barrel. Imperfection in crown Screw holes in wood 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 contact in bottom of bedded slot causing the action to sit off bedding Front of 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. Barrel should not make contact with barrel channel. Due to some flexing some rifles required additional material be removed from stock. [/QUOTE]
