[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1107251, member: 78762"] It seems you have found a few issues that can affect accuracy. I would bed it, and I it makes you feel better have the bolt lugs lapped, the bolt lug contact thing is something I don't buy into a whole lot. The trigger spring pushes up on the rear of the bolt along with the ejector pushes on the cartridge case, thus putting uneven pressure on the bolt. This will slightly off set the bolt and give false info on bolt lug contact. Until you fire the rifle, then bolt thrust will push it back and get full contact on the lug recess. This is my opinion,and you will probably read other opinions on this matter. So if a smith doesn't charge much for this procedure then go ahead and have it done.... Also, reloading is probably inevitable, so I would do that first before you dump a bunch of money in the rifle, when maybe it just hasn't had the right loads shot out of it yet. [/QUOTE]
