Well guys,

That pretty much did it. I shot two five shot groups. One at 50 yards and another at 100 yards. Other than one slight flyer in each group the gun shot 10 times better than it ever has. So my problem was indeed a stock problem.

At 50 yards minus the flyer the group measured 1 1/8". With the flyer it measured 2 3/4".

At 100 yards minus the flyer the group measured 1 3/8". With the flyer it measured 2 7/8".

I'm going to take pictures of the targets and post them here. Won't be able to do that till tomorrow since I don't have software to shrink the pictures down.

I'm going to call Thompson Center tomorrow and talk with the supervisor to see if he'd send me a laminate stock so I can get mor rigidity out that gun.

Here is another issue that I noticed. Now that the barrel is floated, it only takes a very mild amount of pressure to push the stock to the barrel. Like extremely light pressue. So basically that tells me that this stock has virtually zero rigidity. So essentially I think the reason why every once in a while I was able to pull of a slightly better group was due to placing the gun on the sand bags in the exact same place each time.

I'll post those pics tomorrow and fill you in on the call to TC.

Thanks to all especially Sabotloader for helping me with this. It's like I have another hunging gun in my arsenal without having to pay for it.

Tom
