Hi guys i have a savage 110 in 243 cal (i know not the best gun in the world and a bit old but) it has always grouped at around 1/1 1/2 inch @100 yards good enough for me.
It has always had a hush power silencer on it, earlier i fitted a T8 to the end of it and went for a play, first few shots never even got on the A4 paper @ 100 yards :-| why does fitting a different mod make such a difference.
now its rezeroed its ok but cant understand it.

Any help on the matter would be great.

forgot to say the t8 was a second hand one, and i had to slightly file the plastic rear bush on it to fit my barrel just nice ?
but its not touching the stock a good 3/4cm gap between

would be worth having a gunsmith cut a new rear bush for you. The bush is supposed to have a set clearance between it and the barrel. You can buy replacement bushes and have them reamed out. If the one you've filed is touching the barrel it will affect the accuracy. Anyway nothing wrong with Savage 110, used to have a 110fp in .223, shot really well.
