Howdy Folks,
Got a question for the experts here. Took my Tikka T3 to the gunsmith to get the barrel threaded for a suppressor. Had an end cap strike on my suppressor afterwards, turns out they didn't put my Reardon muzzle adapter on correctly. They took it back and put in a cherry bomb from Q. Shot it again after i got the suppressor back from the manufacturer and the same thing happened. Took it back to the gunsmith and they said it wasn't concentric again but they thought it was my suppressor. After speaking with a machinist friend of mine I decided they weren't the right guys for the job. They put the reardon back on for me and I decided I'd have to make other plans.
When I shot the gun again it can't group like it used to and the scope is off significantly. I can't zero it at 100 yds, it shoots an inch to the right even though I've taken up all the adjustment. The ammo I used to shoot, Federal powershoks, used to group less than an inch. Now it is over 2 inches. I cleaned it pretty hard core with bore tech copper remover and carbon fouling remover. I did it until patches came out clean. No improvement.
So my question to you experts. What would you do to troubleshoot this??? Scope being off has me confused, did they bump it or did they bend the barrel?? What else could it be?
