    Gunsmithing Zero off

    I checked the screws. They are both the same size and front screw is not touching bolt and would not be long enough to anyway. Canuckr- I am trying not to have to jack this rifle/chassis more than I already have. Taking the action from the chassis would require I pry it out yet again since...

    Gunsmithing Zero off

    I'm not sure how that could happen due to all the bedding, but I will check. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing Zero off

    Zero off Plus, I can say that there is so much bedding compound around the lug inlet that it could be that. I think this chassis was boned up by bedding in the lug. Plus me pulling it out. No pun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Wouldn't the two bolts, torqued to 65"pounds pull the action into place no matter what angle you screw it in? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing Zero off

    That's what I thought too, but this yahoo basically cemented the lug unto the chassis with bedding compound. I think my plan is to start over and just send the damn thing to a good gunsmith GAP etc. it's above my skill level now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Gunsmithing Zero off

    Ok, I shot in a competition for two days in the worst dust storm I have seen in a while. Had to pull action to get the trigger out because it was fubar. No grouping now. Scope is good to go. Ie. all screws at proper torque. I think it is just not fitting well because I had to break the lug...

    Not sure what that torque was since I did not build the rifle and the person that did is out of business.

    Gunsmithing Zero off

    Both sitting at 65"lbs. I have freaking viper skins on my aics. Pain in the ass to work on as you have to take them off to access the screws. No idea why this thin was locked in to a drop in chassis with bedding compound in the first place. Made by Mike Bush a few years ago. Any other...

    Gunsmithing Zero off

    I took my barreled action of my aics stock, which was bedded in including the lug. Got it back together and now the zero is all over the target. Suggestions?

    6.5 Creedmoor Load Confusion?

    Re: 6.5 Creedmoor Load Confusion? Had the same issue starting at a lower charge. After reading this post, I will jump up to at least 41 h4350 and work up. Using 140'amax in a gap10 22" barrel. Barrel is still in a break in period with less than 100 rounds through it.

    Factory Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor load

    Re: Factory Hornady 6.5 Creedmoor load Well, just finished the breakin on my GAP 10 6.5 creedmoor. First of all using 2.81 OAL proved to be a bit long and would not feed/extract. I checked this with the facotry ammo and it would not cycle either without seating it deeper. Magic depth/OAL...
