[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2019646, member: 78056"] Philward is right, try going the other way. My Win M70 is a dead on shooter and has been from the day I aquired it. Not being one to leave well enough alone, I bedded the action and free floated the barrel. The next trip to range nearly broke my heart, the rifle had gone from a .5" Excaliber (anyone could kill with it!) to a factory 2"+ dog with the same ammo I'd developed for those .5" groups! Arrrgh! What have I done? What am I gonna do? Out of desperation, I added an aluminium shim under the forend, which I had hacked out free floating the barrel. Back to the range and it was back to shooting those .5" groups again (and still does, thankfully). Whew! I scared myself half to death with that one but I have to admit, I didn't learn from the lesson and still can't leave well enough alone! At least I haven't permanently hurt any more of my rifles... but I suppose there's still time! Ah well, I tinker on, but a bit more cautiously than before. At least now I try to not change more than one thing at a time, it's easier to fix that way! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
