Hi All,
I collected my new 30-06 Browning X-Bolt with a wildcat predator 8 moderator on Christmas eve.
Itching to zero it i accepted an invite from a friend on the forum to join him whilst he zeroed his 7mm.
I had a box of 150 grain Winchester cartridges and off we went.
But could i get it to zero, now way, doubt crept in, so i assumed it must be the man behind the gun, namely me, so i tried his 7mm, no problem and put 6 rounds in a 1'' hole at 100 yards.
So i let him try my rifle, same problem, couldn't get it to shoot consistently.
Then i ran out of bullets (will be re-loading soon just waiting for postman!) so we couldn't try without the mod on.
So i got home and made sure everything was tight, which it was.
But now i think i have found out what it might be, when i screw the mod on the plastic screw in end of the mod touches the barrel, in other words it doesn't just shround the barrel.
I have contacted the company who stated i can ream out the plastic nut without voiding the warranty, but i might get the gun shop to do it.
Watch this space, i will let you know how it goes.
Cheers
Richard
