M70375!
AH fanatic
When I first got this rifle, I had mixed feelings. The action seemed rough and the safety felt rough. After a little G96 on the bolt and raceway and the safety detents, she is smooth as glass. Would only group 1 ½-2 inch at 100 yards, good enough for government work, but not quite what I wanted to see. The trigger was 5.3 pounds and although it is supposed to be adjustable, it really is not, I could completely remove the adjusting set screw and the poundage never changes. So I put in a set of Mcarbo trigger springs and got it down to 3.8 pounds although it feels lighter than that. Groups were still 1-1 ½. Going in the right direction direction but still hoping for better. Much to my surprise the rifle comes with the recoil lug and rear tang nicely glass beded, but no bedding in front of recoil lug under the barrel shank. I decided to bed the barrel shank to about 1 ½ inch in front of the recoil lug. Now with 64 grains of H4895 a Fed 215 primer and a 300 grain TSX at 2601 FPS it is shooting ½ inch groups, I love this rifle, can't wait to hunt something with it. I took a picture of the group , I. will try to post a pic of the group if I can get it to load.
