[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 1880366, member: 68758"] This is another possibility. Not likely on a high-end clone- but a factory M700, mebbe. If the threads were milled/tapped off-axis, the bore won't be concentric to the receiver centerline. Checking the barrel shoulder/receiver face junction with a piece of .001 shim stock to make sure there's no gap anywhere will rule that out. Bottom line, is it's a new build. If the seller did the work, he should be knowledgeable enough to drill down and find the problem. If a riflesmith did it, it should go back to him. Otherwise, it's only worth the components not including barrel or receiver, as either (or both) could be defective. [/QUOTE]
