[QUOTE="gatodoc, post: 4462240, member: 11563"] I bought a Rem 700 ADL 243 on sale at Academy several years ago. It was an inexpensive gun, but the darn thing shot lights out. I killed several deer with it. Not being satisfied, I decided to improve it. I ordered a Timney trigger and my bud installed it. Went to the range and it went from 1/2 inch groups to 3". My bud removed the stock and replaced it and it shot great. I dropped it when getting out of the safe awhile back. Now groups are everywhere again. The stock was a cheap plastic molded one, but the barrel was free and a paper would slide under it. I ordered an aluminum bedded hogue stock for it. When I tried to fit it, the barrel was touching one side and had a gap on the other. I know I could remove some material from the side of the stock, but I've heard that a lot of Remingtons have a slightly off alignment between the recoil lug and the barrel and this can be repaired by a gunsmith and helps realign the barrel in the stock. Am I crazy in my thoughts on this issue? [/QUOTE]
