I bought a mcmillan stock from a THR member for a good price. Got my smith to float the barrel and bed the action on a used rem 700 tactical. My gunsmith said the fit was very good and it didnt need bedding so he didnt do it (??) He only shaved down the lug channel and the barrel channel and said the fit was extremely tight.
I finally had time to shoot it yesterday and it shot great. I was shooting about 3/4" groups with federal m80 bulk ball ammo (first time shooting 308) and then the scope got loose after about 15 rounds and I didnt have anything to tighten it up with. Turns out the original owner of the receiver/scope didnt locktite any of the scope screws. I wonder if he sold it thinking the gun didnt shoot?
Anyhow, my main question is that after I load the rounds into the ADL magazine, there is slight front to back play. If I slide the rounds all the way to the back, the bolt cannot catch them to chamber the round. I have to slide each round a very slight bit forward to get the round to chamber.
I tried to load them slightly forward but that didnt work.
Does anyone have suggestions as to the issue?
