[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 44894, member: 1441"] Dave, the groups stringing out diagonally dissappeared once I pulled the legs of the bipod out to the same length, I noticed something was amiss when recoil was sending the rifle way off to the left. The groups would go upwards and to the right with each shot. I should have noted it down, but from memory it was the left side the was lower. The safety; Great, no problems at all, although the whole action is very stiff. It takes some force to feed from the magazine and close it. That's just going to be a matter of time before it smoothes out. I have a Shilen trigger to install, that I didn't do myself for fear of damaging something. I have heard that the HS trigger is more compact than the Rem 700 style triggers so you have to make room for it either by shortening the trigger or modifying the guard. To tell the truth I haven't even pulled the stock away from the rifle, so I don't know what it is like. Are the flat primers an issue to worry about? The 43.2gn charge was what gave me best results, and it is max according to the VV manual. I get 2686fps average vel. Maybe try another powder? Suggestions? [/QUOTE]
