Thanks guys. So I shot 4 loads today and the most consistent was Hornady white tail 150gr. Seems to be grouping best with 150's. However I was trying to improve my shooting technique over the last 200 rounds but today I went back to what comes natural and how about that I'm shooting tight again. I managed a less than 1/2 inch 5 shot group with that load. Probably could try some other loads and get better results but the nice thing about the whitetail load is I can find them everywhere as opposed to others that are only found in gun shops.

I'll pull the bolt an look at it for sure thank you.

Ok, well I have an answer to my rail and screw question.  According to Beretta, this has to do with shipping…?

That's what the guy said and just said to take the screw out and carry on.  He said he has received several calls with this question lately and that is the answer.  Weird but I guess they know something I don't.

I'm pretty new to this group and Tikkas but not new to shooting. I just got a tactical 308 last week and there was a screw in the threaded hole in the front of the rail on mine pushing it up about an 1/8th of and inch. I had the dealer remove because it didn't seem right. It is still slightly raised like what you are stating. While I don't believe it will affect accuracy I haven't been able to shoot the rifle yet. I read somewhere there is a reason for this hole but can't remember. I have to wonder, is there a chance it has been that way and you just noticed it?  Strange coincidence to my issue but thought I would post.

Sorry so long

Ah yes. Perfection. The very dear friend of crazy. 🙂

That does help some. Sounds like somebody mistook that screw and put it in and tightened. Frustrating on a $1500 rifle but if she shoots then who cares.

The bolt is actuall rubbing towards the top just a hair down from the ejection port area. I'm guessing just a very close tolerance thing. It is still very smooth in fact you can't feel the rub just see the mark. It's just slightly rubbing the Teflon coating off.

I guess I'm just being anal and want it perfect.

Any other thoughts are very welcome.

Thanks for the response!
