Friend's rifle started shooting all over the place. Was shooting 1" at 100yds.
Cleaned all the fouling out of the barrel. Little better.
Took out the action and the trigger guard is plastic. So plastic holding the action to the stock.
Cracked where the front screw holds action to stock.
He said it had happened before. He had another trigger guard.
I can't believe a rifle this expensive has plastic holding the action to the stock.
Instead of replacing the guard I modified it with an aluminum bushing.
Just finished, so I don't know how it works yet. Range closed.
Some pictures of what I did.
One part not pictured is a plastic sleeve that goes through the stock.
It is now part of the bushing I made. It's the lower part in picture #5.
All one piece now so it should be stronger and hold better.
