[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1674522, member: 12995"] He said it's a 5R model, therefore, it's a solid fiberglass HS Precision stock. Nothing is wrong with the stock if it leans to one side. And it doesn't necessarily mean there is anything wrong with the rifle, either. Don't harvest fear, where there might not be any. It just means the stock's barrel channel either wasn't cut straight, or that during curing, it slightly warped. Not a huge deal, and easily corrected with the steps I posted on page 1. Worst case scenario, the action face isn't square and it's pushing the barrel towards a particular direction. This can be corrected by blueprinting the action and squaring the receiver face...All typical procedures performed during a standard "blueprinting" by a gunsmith. And if the barrel shoots good, but the receiver face is out of square, the smith can simply blueprint the action, check the barrel's chamber for concentricity once reinstalled, then put it all back together with the original parts, just with everything fully trued up. Can be a very inexpensive and quick process. Also a very simple one to correct some factory production issues, if you know everything else is good on your rifle. Some companies actually offer this package, and call it an "factory accurizing package". [/QUOTE]
