[QUOTE="AnchAK, post: 572110, member: 38904"] I had some issues with my 84M .308 when I first got it. I made several trips to the range with many types of ammo from different brands, weights and bullet constructions. I found that the barrel was not free floated completely and there was undo pressure on the barrel from the stock. I ended up sanding out the stock until I got a real free float and then refinished the sanded parts with JB Weld and resanded it until it was smooth. JB Weld seems to match the stock color close enough but who cares since its on part of the stock noone ever sees except if you removed the barrel and action. I found a good load the rifle likes by recommendation from a friend and now its consistently shooting good enough to kill anything I want out to 600 yards. Just so long as I do my part and let the rifle do the rest. The rifle is good to go now. I think all total it cost the amount of what it cost to buy 1 oz. of JB Weld and the 300 something rounds of ammo I went through until I found a load it likes. A true custom build would be nice but when I have a rifle that will do anything I want short of large dangerous game and be light enough to carry in the mountains, its good enough. [/QUOTE]
