[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1380139, member: 229"] When you put the stock back together, did you ensure that the action bolts were torqued properly (55inch/Lbs - 65in/Lbs if torquing to bedded stock with after-market bottom-metal)? Proper torque for base/scope/rings per the various manufacturers: Base-to-receiver is 15in/Lbs per Badger Ordinance and the rings to base are 65in/Lbs per Badger (keep in mind those are steel rings on a steel base - aluminum is probably closer to 15-25in/Lbs depending on your ring-manufacturer - I'd look that up specifically on your ring-manufacturer's site). Rings to Scope are 15in/Lbs per U.S. Optics. If that's all correct, then I'd make sure the stock-to-barrel fit is truly free-floating (that's an HS Precision with aluminum bedding block in it I believe). If your reloads are consistent, it sounds like you've ruled-out crappy-factory-inconsistent-ammo as a factor.
