[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1110977, member: 5219"] Nothing is more frustrating than buying a new rifle, factory or custom to discover it won't shoot. I think you will have to go through a check list on the rifle to see if you can find something wrong. Or see a gunsmith and have him go over it. Be sure to bring your targets. So often the problem is in the fit of the stock. I keep a checklist in my documents in case I forget something. Here is the list: Barrel having adequate clearance where it is supposed to be floated. Often Remingtons come with fore end contact/pressure. I prefer to float the fore end. Mag box must not bind on sides or make contact with bottom of stock Recoil lug should not make contact with bottom of stock recess, could cause rocking/binding Forward screw of front base touching threads of barrel shank causing a false tightness and loose front base. Action screw holes in stock too small. Drill holes larger so sides of action screw won't touch stock Bolt handle touching stock Trigger group must not touch stock Trigger guard must not touch trigger Action screws properly torqued Poor crown, optimal way is to check with bore scope Clean bore -------------------------- [/QUOTE]
