Thanks for the help. Makes sense. Next time I'll waste a couple then shoot for groups. Basically, this is a walking gun. I had some 322 powder and 45 grains and wanted to put them together since I have them and a javelina tag to fill in a couple weeks. Doesn't hurt to keep the groups tight. Thanks a...

the rifle is factory stock. The rifle is the shorter and lighter rifle with the 19" barrel which I believe is free floated. I'm not sure what a recoil lug is? The scope is mounted tight and is a Leupold VX-II 6-18x40. Thanks.
