Bedding then maybe new trigger.

When you torque your stock screws and feel the bolt dragging, I think that your screw is too long and hitting the bolt . Try and take a thread or two off your back screw and see if this helps.
I think this might fix your groups. I hope this helps.

Have a Savage LRPV 204 Ruger on order, should be here friday. Also have one in 22/250 that is the best shooter I have ever owned.
Am really anxious to get it. Will put a Zeiss 6.5-20 on it and hope it shoots as well as my 22/250.

George,

Glad to hear that you have any LRPV 204 on the way, they are exceptional rifles. I have to ask are you completely set on a Zies Scope? If not you should really take a look at the Clearidge or Hawke brands. They both build an excellent varmint scope with good glass and a price point that is very reasonable. We carry both brands and would be happy to quote you a price if you would be interested.

I just posted one on the swap meet. They shoot great, but I have another project in mind so I need to sell this.

I have or had the Zeiss, now mounted and made it to the range last week. This LRPV does shoot

as well as my 22/250 LRPV and I am really impressed. Shot four 5 shot groups, the largest being

5/8 of an inch at 100 yards. Just finished loading 200 new Hornady cases and hope to get to the

range tomorrow for some serious testing.

By the way thanks for the offer.

George
