Hi Guys,
I mentioned in the introduction section that this rifle was shooting groups (if you could call it that) of 8" at 50 yds. Yep you read that right.
My gunsmith checked the bore and said it was spot on, so I did some research. I came across a thread that said if you suffer poor groups the mag box may be too tight and needs to be 'free floated' by filing down both ends where it is held down. This morn I checked the gun and yep, it was tight. I filed it down till I was getting a slight rattle when all screws torqued down. Wow, massive improvement!
Last 5 shots were the tight group.
