[QUOTE="Bobcape, post: 1870290, member: 13100"] I don’t know if all of these have been suggested. Try - + Ensure front scope mount screw isn’t too long. Screw in only that one screw until you feel light resistance. Then see if you can move the base. If it’s hitting the barrel stud, switch it or grind it down slightly. + Ensure the front action screw isn’t engaging the barrel threads. This is a semi-common issue with the minis. Almost the same test as above. Drop barreled action into stock. Start the front action screw through the guard. Only tighten until you feel slight resistance. Try to wiggle or lift the BA. + Check barrel tension. I have seen several (not this rifle specifically) barrels that were only hand-tight. It’s a nice rifle with good potential. Bob [/QUOTE]
