[QUOTE="Bullmark, post: 2131305, member: 113003"] I agree.....recoil can be a culprit for a lot of rifle issues. With the recoil comes minor changes to shooting form and trigger pull, which leads to groups opening up. This takes away the confidence one may have with their new rifle, and without confidence you are prone to error. I’m not saying the original poster is flinching....but I am saying it doesn’t take much at all to move the impact an inch or two. Also, the issue with the bottom metal and screws will affect barrel harmonics....so a subtle change to the nuts and bolts of the build will play out in the harmonics. I once had a world class shooter and National F class record holder talk to me for an hour about barrel harmonics.....it was so over my head I just took his word for it and learned that rifles are kinda like guitars and changes to the build affect the impact like the sound of a guitar. I long for the days when I went on my first deer hunt with my late Dad’s old model 94 30-30.....I was all of 10yrs old and when a fat doe came by me at point blank range I center punched her. She jumped, obviously hit, and watched her run off. I was sure I missed and didn’t tell a soul.....only to realize later that gut shot deer don’t fall over. [/QUOTE]
