[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1086752, member: 5219"] My first thought is bedding. Even though it looks good I have a few ideas. I have two Mauser clones called Mark X. One is a 14 lb LR platform. First check all blind holes in the action for any bedding material. If the action screw bottoms out before the action is truly tightened you will get that sort of group. Same thing with an action screw that is too long. Make sure the action screws don't hit the sides of the holes in the stock. Drill them larger if necessary. Now for something that I have done that has helped. I like to rely on the bedding to support the action but don't like the bottom of the recoil lug to make contact. I have either removed some bedding or have removed some metal from the bottom of the lug. This prevents any rocking action. The mauser "pillar" in the front, that is part of the floorplate assembly can be a problem. I shortened mine to make absolutely sure it wasn't making contact with the bottom of the receiver and was only supported by the bedding. I also use a torque wrench. I use 40 in/lb front and 35 in/lb rear with the slotted action screws. Let us know what you discover. [/QUOTE]
