[QUOTE="dashender7, post: 2324975, member: 120345"] Thank you for the confirmation and for adding your vote so to speak. I hope to have time later today to also respond also to QuietTexan who posted an amazing write up above that I'm still processing and digesting and which provided some similar guidance about group overlay and waiting between shots and groups. Okay I'm going to respond here and also give an update. So far here's what I've done: I went out and bought a nice torque screwdriver yesterday so I can get correct inch lbs on everything. Admittedly I did not own one before. I then took the stock off, inspected it, and very carefully re-mounted it per the manual instructions setting the rear and then forward action screws to exactly the 35 inch-lbs factory spec. I have my scope (SWFA HD 3-9x FFP) mounted in Vortex Pro aluminum rings on a Warne aluminum Mountain Tech base. I un-mounted my scope and re-mounted everything to spec (Vortex provides specs for the rings and ring bases). I then went to the range to re-zero and test some groups. I fired one at 100yds to re-zero and made the 5 mils or so of adjustment because of re-mounting the scope based on that shot. Unfortunately as I prepared to shoot groups the wind picked up brutally (I'm in the open in Nebraska). I decided it would be too much of a variable for what I was trying to do yesterday so I called it a day with this Weatherby, got in a little work with a different rifle, and headed home hoping to be able to head back to shoot today after church. I hope to be able to report back soon. Thank you again to everyone who has jumped in to help me troubleshoot and brainstorm this! [/QUOTE]
