Nchawkeye, I took our advice. The screws were all tight. So I then did your suggestion about a piece of plastic between the barrel and stock, and guess what? Bingo Bango,.....my groups instantly tightened. I'm talking 1 inch groups or so. I had a couple shots that I couldn't see where they hit, then found out I was shooting almost the same holes when I walked up to the target...
The unfortunate thing is, that today, the gun range hosted a sight in day where the weekend warriors could bring their rifles out to sight in for the deer season in two weeks so he place was a zoo. So the only open range was he 75 yard range. My shots were all grouped together, but about 3.5-4" high at 75 yards. I adjusted it down so they were grouping about 2-2.5" inches high at 75 yards.
In my mind though, at that range, the bullet trajectory is still going up correct? So I could assume it would be higher at 100 yards....
I want this gun sighted in 2" high at a hundred so that I can basically hold right on a Deers vitals anywhere 0-300 yards. Looks like ill have to find time this week to o out one last time to get it completely sighted in.
On a side note. I was using remmington 175gr or loks. I had one misfire today. The primer was dimpled, but no bang......first time this ever happened to me. Anyone ever have this happen?
