If I understand right all the work of securing the barrel to the stock on an sks is done by the front ferrule. on the choate stock the ferrule is very tight as is the action fit in the stock. I didn't ever measure groups with mine but when I changed stocks (which made everything tighter) the groups seemed to shrink by 30%or so that being said the choate stock is so much more comfortable to use that the tight fit might be only part of the solution. Try this get some good ammo not surplus crud The american eagle is supposed to be superb and see what the rifle does with that. one member had a bolt attached to his reciever that went down at an angle at the rear it pulled the action into the stock and he said it was a great improvement. Member was cyanideride IIRC

lol You're definitely right about the television.

Well to bed in the recoil lug I have pics below. I show the final product with the dams and fills i did in the lock points. What i don't have a picture of is how I dammed the area where the magazine goes. I molded that as carefully as possible and pushed it into place where the mag goes then sealed off any holes to prevent the acraglas from oozing out. This means i built all the dams without the acraglas in place first. I installed the barreled action and the trigger group need to keep the stock and action in the proper position but left the magazine out. Then i found the best way to get the glass in is to inject it through a small hole drilled laterally into the stock into the area to be bedded. This means that the glas fills up the bedding area from the bottom (dribbling in from the top like i did in the pics attached does not work as well) and you get a nice fill. I used a 60cc syringe and filled it with the plunger out and my thumb over the little hole at the bottom. Insert the plunger then invert the syringe with the little hole on top so the glas pours down onto the plunger. Take off thumb and push out all the air in the syringe body till it is just glas. Then i inject into the stock. Stop before mechanically locking the barrel in place. This happens when the glass starts to fill the space between the barrel and stock past 180 degrees around the barrel. Know what i mean? Leave it to set and then pull out the barreled action and all the dams. I always have to clean up the magazine area with a file to get the mags to fit back in nicely. Still not sure what to do at the back of the action though one poster talked about wood shims at the back and I thought about damming and filling then pouring the glass with the stock held vertically.

A good sight picture is important to good shooting results. I use square or retangular black wear centers as aiming marks. For a post front sight, a big balck square is easier to aim at that a round aiming mark.
When I use a scope, I shoot a group at each corner. The crosshairs line up well with a corner. Here is a 300 yard set up.
The 3 shots at the bottom are the start of SKS group being shot with a 100 sight setting.
