[QUOTE="RUMBALL, post: 715531, member: 53976"] I have tikka 270 laminated stock that shoots tight the only time I had issues with this rifle was when I removed stock to put lanol grease on recoil lug to stop corrosion from the alloy on stainless contact. IT took me some time but it was action screw tension ended up liking 30 inch lbs. I have put sixty cold barrel shots in a inch at 100yrd before accuracy went awol. If your barrel is fouling to quick - My sendero was fouling quickly so I used Autosol on cotton patch wrapped around a jag and focused on the chamber and muzzle end. Fire a few rounds then look at muzzle end on an angle unloaded of course if you have copper fouling swab with sweets an scrub with wire brush jag not exiting muzzle end and dragging back in as to prevent crown damage. Let sit for 10-15min swab out then nuetralize with hoppes 9 repeat until no sighns of copper. Then polish chamber end and muzzle end with short fast strokes and long easy strokes mid barrel. Run clean patch to remove autosol then shoot a 2 0r 3 rounds if you have heavy fouling repeat process again until it stops if it seems stubourn then use scotchbrite and autosol with the same process but dont go crazy with the scotchbrite if this fails to stop your fouling you may need firelapping. Hope this helps you in some way. I can direct you to a site that I got this process from for my sendero for a more indepth read on barrel break in and fouling. Cheers Rumball. [/QUOTE]
