[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 797058, member: 6064"] Sounds like you put it in a different stock...wellllllll once upon a time I had a very nice 700 varminter in .223 it was astoundingly accurate I bedded the heck out of it free floated it, it was a true 1/4 min. rifle...YES!!!! 1/4" rifle. I took it everywhere and shot tones of Praire Dogs...untill I had to yank it apart to detail clean the trigger. Put it back together with the propper torque and voila a crappy 4 min rifle...AHHHHH! it seems that the mag box hadn't quite fit into its receiver cutout. The darn thing torqued just fine cause we are only talking 20-30 though, but the pressure in the middle of the receiver changed it all! Tore it apart made sure all was good ( when assembled propperly the mag box should float around a bit) and right back to 1/4 MOA. Stock fit might be critical. KurtM [/QUOTE]
