[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 637292, member: 25383"] welcome to my world! I was lucky in that I had access to all the best machine tools in the world, and knew where cigar boxes full of reamers were that I could borrow. I did not mess with the trigger or the bedding much on mine. I simply removed all that forend aluminum that got in the way, and pillar bedded it. Then rebedded the the reciever and recoil lug. My barrel was junk (and really still is). Went thru a couple trigger jobs, and finally traded it for a well done 1978 trigger that Mr. Pendel had laying around (still sadly missed). My factory chamber was about seven thousandths off center and roughly at a seven degree angle. Barrel was so rough that it actually tore up patches! It shot 5" groups with Federal Supreme ammo and about 4.25" with hand loads, so you got a better one than I got! It now shoots sub half inch groups, and has dipped into the very high threes on occassion. I like the rifle now, and it's my favorite coyote gun gary [/QUOTE]
