let's talk guns
Since it's a gun forum I thought I might broach the subject.
I picked up the CZ 527 in 22 Hornet I mentioned ordering. Nice rifle, I've order some ammo I'm waiting for and then I'll see how it shoots. In the mean time I need to sand out the barrel channel in the stock at the tip of the forend. The barrel is clear of the rest of the stock but is touching at the end.
The target diagram in the box shows a three shot group fired from 50 yards that string slightly vertical and I wonder is this is why, their stacked almost in a straight line. It's not a big deal to sand a barrel channel on a new rifle, I've done it a few times. Of course I would rather not have to fool with it but wood stocks sometimes self adjust.

Nothing that a dremel and a sandpaper disc couldn't cure. Notebook paper is .005 thick. Just make sure you have at least that much clearance 0 -

Strangely enough I have some experiences with rifles that became more accurate and consistent with a little forearm pressure. If relieving the fore end doesn't work it might be worth a try. A cheap way to check is to cut up one of those rubber gripper pads for opening jar lids. Place a strip or two in the bottom of the barrel channel and torque the action screws the proper amount. Barrels are all different and that's what makes it fun trying to get the best accuracy out of each one. Bob 0
