paulnix Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 I looked about on some American sites as they love to show off the knowledge and all I found was one saying " just did it up tight as there seemed a stop in there " Sorry not very helpful.

Outdoorsman Posted May 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Yep its fairly annoying i wonder what a gun smith would say if i were to contact one, i could try spend a day messing around with diffrent setting on targets but it was a pain doing that with the CZ455 and i had an idea of what they where Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 (edited) They have a fully floating barrel . Check that the barrel is not touching any part of the stock . I removed the stock on mine to oil finish it and never had a problem when I put it together again . Fabulous little gun . From memory the bolts were not done up over tight.

robbietherimmer Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Serves you right for taking it apart IMO Leave it to a gunsmith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutiny Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Take it apart and put it back together checking everything is properly aligned. Check barrel isn't touching stock as Harnser said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outdoorsman Posted May 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Everything is spot on it can only be the torque on the stock, ill just go the long way round and put it on targets and refit the stock after every group with a diffrent torque its a pain in the *** but ill have to do it. The thing is though how would a gunsmith guarantee that your gun will shoot the same after doing work on it or do they test every gun, I suppose it only really applies to rimmys though as you would be able to adjust your reloading for a centre fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to take the stock off . Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might want to try putting wedge between the barrel and the fore end at the front of the fore end and give it a try without the barrel being floated . I had a ruger .308 that shot much better with the barrel not being floated . I put a couple of lead washers under the barrel touching the fore end and shot it like that for years . All barrels will behave differently Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
