[QUOTE="Montana'eer, post: 2829460, member: 113417"] I had a laminated Tikka 7mm that I couldn't get to shoot an inch with any factory or hand loads. Most groups were abysmal. I took it to my gunsmith, he fiddled with stock re-torqued and took it to the range. Same thing with him. He spoke to another gunsmith friend who is pretty familiar with Tikka and he offered some advice. The laminated stocks can display problems because they are manufactured in a different process than the general black stocks. The black stocks are machined to exacting tolerances whereas the laminated stocks can have variations. He recommended a full bedding job. So that really peed me off. I spent a fair amount of money on this already. So several months went by and I went into Capital Sports (my gunsmith) and he said "Hey you get that Tikka to shoot?" I said "I sure did! I turned it into a Browning XBolt Hells Canyon!". [/QUOTE]
