[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1756978, member: 74902"] Beautiful rifle. What model and powder of scope? What rings? Did you clean the barrel real well before firing the first rounds? Need to make sure the stock is secured to the action really well. I would: * remove the stock from the action * verify if the recoil lug had been bedded. Browning used to put a little epoxy between the lug rest on the action and the lug face. This allow a tight solid surface for the lug to rest against unrecoil. * Look to see if the action screw holes have metal pillars in them or are just holes in the wood. * Put action back on the stock. Put the stock butt on the floor or table and push downward on the barrel to force the recoil lug against the lug resting area on the stock. * Tighten the Front first and then rear screw. Alternate screw tightening until there is a bout 40 inch pounds for a wood stock with no pillars and 55" inch pounds if it had pillars. [/QUOTE]
