Hi Guys

Well it seems that the sanding of the pressure pads on stock and totally free floating the barrel about an 1/8th of an inch either side of barrel did the trick went out today and after shooting from 50yds to sight in 3 shots bottom right i went back to a hundred yds and am now putting 3 shots dead center if you look close the 3rd shot went through same hole as it is a little bit bigger than the normal holes i thought i had missed totally until i looked hard at target 8) and 4th one was my fault as i pulled the shot it went right and High so thanks for all the help i appreciate it lots as i almost gave up and sold it but i am glad that i did not.

Thanks Ericbc7

I have tried a few different Factory ammo Hornady Performance in 50gr, Remington 55gr,and Winchester 55gr Varmint X the hornadys gave me better results if i remember correctly 😮 Hand loading up here in Arctic is pretty expensive due to all things need to be Shipped here,and the Dangerous goods cost etc etc i would like to try my hand at Hand loading but wont be any time soon. Will see how free floating the barrel worked  next time out i also have bought a new scope to rule out a bad scope. Thanks for any advice, Is it possible that the throat is wore out on it?

Hi Larkin

““`thanks for the advice i am unable to get the recoil lug out of its recess for some reason any tips on removing a stuck one and so i went with your second suggestion and have free floated the barrel i can now slide a bill all the way to the action but haven ot had a chance to go and test it out but hopefully tmrw i will if there is no wind or very little i have also bought a wheeler scope mounting kit with the fat wrench so all screws are torqued to proper specs and scope is mounted properly tightened and all screws are with Purple lock tite will see tmrw thanks again
