Yeah I can slide a piece of paper all of the way down to the action with any problem. I've take the stock off and put it back on which I think has reduced it but it's still there.
On the last N/V off scope on swap ( N/V back on know) Johan (JVR) was here for a visit from SA he makes barrels from blank stock, gun drill, button rifling, hand lapping, barrel profiling, threading etc.
Short story was the Kahles ran out of windage! most strange as it was close to centre before the Drone went on some time ago.
I had left an extra day in reserve to give him some shots with my .270 and for me to scope the .243.
Time for a plan, bore foam clean the barrel, swap rings front to back, 1 min later Johan had my bolt in bits cleaning all the parts to a new pin lol
On taking the stock off a shiny mark was on the barrel from the stock so we put it back together and checked it with some paper...it did tighten up on that point as that is where the gun rests on the sticks also the drone is heavy and a T8.
While the bore foam was doing its thing I dressed the inside of the stock with a coarse half round file....
Barrel cleaned, bolt back together re check with 2 thicknesses of paper swap rings Kahles back on bore sight and back in middle of windage...Headache gone...
4 shots on the plate 2 more 30mm high @100 yds 2 in the bull at 200...
Shooting is a skill which is driven by being confident with your kit and yourself, for me I would pull it out put it back if it is the same redress that side other wise you will never be sure until it is right...
