[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1256723, member: 10755"] It sounds like something is binding when you tighten the action screws to me. If the lug is touching the stock and the pillars are centred, then something else, like screw tension, is causing the problem. How tight are you tightening the screws? This can be critical on plastic stocks. Is there clearance for the mag box? This can cause the action to bend without you knowing. When you tighten the front screw, does the rear of the action rise in the stock, or vice versa? This indicated a problem with the lug touching, or the bedding area isn't perfectly flat. The bottom metal on my Kimbers has a tendency to not sit correctly until the action is jiggled a little, due to their tight inletting. How fast are you shooting when you test for groups? Skinny barrels heat up quickly, and can 'walk' bullets as they get hotter, try shooting slower and see if it improves. Cheers. gun) [/QUOTE]
