I have had three of these rifles in my shop over the past six months. All of themwere mediocre shooters. We tried free floating - it didn't help much. In fact, as James B suggested, two of themactually shot a little tighter with an increase in fore end pressure. I finally set one of them back a thread and rechambered with a PTG reamer. This made quite a difference, shrinking groups to about the size of a nickel. It appears the factory throat is a little on the long side. Also, the best shooting bullet in all of these guns turned out to be the Sierra Blitzking 39 grain ahead of AA 2460. Good luck. Roskoe.
