[QUOTE="Achucker, post: 327401, member: 5185"] So I have been playing around with my 7mm rem mag to get it more accurate. Did all the usual things...handload, quality scope, timney trigger, and bell and carlson stock. Was able to get it down to just under 1 moa. But today something changed to bring my last group to under .5 moa. Only did two thing to it today that I think may be responsible. I'll explain. I had developed a load in a factory stock at a little over an inch at 100 yards. Put it in the new stock today and groups came down to a little under an inch. Shot about 20 to 25 rounds. I installed the scope myself a couple years ago. I used the wheeler scope mounting kit to do it. Thought it was level with the action but never seemed right. Had a buddy look at it and found I had the action level not setting properly. So we repositioned the scope.. When loosening the screws to the scope he asked what I torqued to cause they were extremely tight. I don't remember for sure but thought it was to recommended amount with locktight. Anyway set up at 100 yards and re-sighted in. Then proceeded to shoot the group mentioned above. Was truly shocked. Here are my questions... 1) Can the barreled action "seat" into the new stock after that many shots? 2) Does the torque on the scope ring bolts affect the accuracy of a rifle? Or 3) Did I just get lucky? [/QUOTE]
