[QUOTE="pdog06, post: 380675, member: 12813"] What do you mean" it wasnt as floated as it was"? This sounds like something definately moved, which could be your whole problem. Id hog out the tand and make sure it is floated. Try loosening the action screws, standing the rifle up on the butt, and re-tightening the action screws a little at a time, alternating between the 2. This should allow the recoil lug to fall back and make an even contact on the stock. Then once everything is nice and tight, double check the barrel and tang for being floated. A dollar bill of pc of paper should slide under it(itll only go under the tang bout a 1/2 inch cause itll hit the trigger). Also once everything is tight see if the barrel is centered in the barrel channel. If not then a bedding job could be in order. [/QUOTE]
