[QUOTE="Nimrodmar10, post: 837321, member: 36369"] I checked to see if the barrel was floated and found that a piece of paper would only slide halfway down to the receiver. That seemed like a odd way to bed a barrel. I removed the rotary magazine and then removed the trigger guard/lower receiver cover by inserting a flat blade screwdriver into the slot in the front of the magazine well. I then checked the torque of the two action screws. They were torqed to over 50 inch pounds each so were not loose. I then removed them and removed the barrel/action from the stock. When I checked the area of the for end under the barrel, I saw the problem. The fore end of the stock was bows up in the middle. This causes the barrel to move around freely on the small plastic webbing that was supposed to stiffen the stock. I've ground/sanded the ribs down to where the barrel is now floated. Before I put the gun back together, I intend to fill the for end corregations with epoxy resin to try and stiffen the stock enough to keep it from flexing up and touching the barrel when I rest the barrel on a sand bag or rest. When this is finished, I'll fire the rifle again and let you know how it shoots. The last picture is a close up of the trigger assembly. In the top-down photo of the trigger, you can also see a picture of the Accutrigger adjustment wheel. Hope this helps. I'll post more as it becomes available. [/QUOTE]
