Well, it makes sense to me. Just wondering how many other people experience it. If I take my benchrest rifle (1" OD Kreiger barrel 300RUM) and take the action out of my H-S Precision stock and put back in and torque the front allen screw to 32 in/lbs, yes my POI will be off usually. It has to do with the harmonics changing and barrel whip roundball. Its hard to tell with my hawkin cause it only gets 2"-3" groups at 50 yards, not near like my elite getting <2MOA at 150 or 200 yards. Easier to tell with the elite and wolverine.

I guess my point I was trying to make is, a ML usually has to be taken apart to get a good cleaning, and be mindful that when you put it back, you might not be able to make that 150 or 200 yard shot, you did at the range.
