Question about a zero

[woodnut]

I have a very accurate Remy 700 that I restocked. Old and new are composite stocks so I would have thought the zero would remain the same since I did not do anything to the scope. BUT, I was off a full MOA up at 300! I usually come up 3MOA and this time it was 4. Could a stock change do that? Or did I do something wrong in torquing the action screws? Anyone have that experience?

yes it could easily have changed. Holes in paper dont lie. If your groups are still tight adjust zero and move on.

I hate getting old! LOL. I didn't take my info on the comeups with me and my pea brain "thought" the comeups were 3MOA. Wrong! It was 4. So, nothing changed, still doing what it did and very accurately too. Thanks for making me "think" and look up my intel sheet.

Stock material is not the issue. It is primarily a question of free floated or not and type of bedding, such as pillar vs bedding block.
