I tend to agree with Todd on this about the scope. But you also may have an issue with the recoil lug and the stock fit. Does it look like the recoil lug recess has been altered? My T3 is a bear to take down and get back together itis so tight. But it shoots very well. I would not hesitate to buy another.
