[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 1879281, member: 91783"] I also would like to hear how it comes out . I just got one to shoot 3/4 " groups for a friend It had a few problems . The action screws needed torqued to specs. I had to put the pressure point back in the fore end , try some business cards under the barrel after you get the action torqued correctly to see if yours needs the front pressure point , you just need enough to have the barrel move the same every time you fire it and come to rest in the same place every time . The bolt was rubbing against the stock . The mag box was bound up in the stock and the bottom metal was miss aligned with the stock causing the front action screw to bind in the stock and not torque correctly . You can tell a lot by just looking at the stock and action with them taken apart . Look for dark spots in the stock and shinny spots on the action that will tell you if it is moving around the stock or if the bolt is rubbing on the stock . As has been mentioned before check to make sure that the front action screw isn't bottomed out , use a small screw driver or pick to clean the screw hole out . The one I just did started with 3 " groups I think that some one started with a box of left over parts and tried to build a rifle . [/QUOTE]
