My stock T1X shot very well - but I thought Id try it in a chassis stock as they are supposed to be as good as bedding - - why I dont know because the gun shot 1/2" and under 50 yd groups in stock trim very consistently
Heres my experience so you know what to look for .
Put it togther as per the instructions , shot it and the groups were terrible . So I started to investigate
The first thing I discovered was when you slid the action back against the recoil lug , as I did in the first asembly , as per instructions , the tang of the action was rubbing on the cap screw that held the stock together - see photo
So I put it together with the action slid forward and it just cleared the cap screw . That isnt how a recoil lug works but had to try it to miss the interference fit against the cap screw . If need be I was going to grind some off the front edge of the cap screw but havent yet
Then as the instructions said to torque the action screws to 65 "# , and I thought that was a lot , I took my torque wrench and the gun to the range and tryed other torques
The photo of the target tells the story
And I guess for a 22 having the action correctly against the recoil lug didnt seem to hurt things . Its importance though would no doubt be evident in a CF cal
Anyway something to keep in mind if your trying this combo -
After I got a torque that gave good groups I shot the rest of the 25 bull target at 50 yds . Seems to be working good now , for shooting off a sand bag . I plan on making a board so I can use a front rest . That might fix the flyers
