Wow I never thought I'd have this gun apart this many times this year. I think I can do it my sleep now!
Anyway,
I saw the barrel referred to as "semi floating"?? I can say that it's very flexible when not supported at the muzzle end.
The last 2 times I built it, I ended up with a severe amount of right adjustment in my scope. I almost ran out of adjustment. So, this time I want to do a much better job.
I've been just "eyeballing" the barrel when I tighten the piece down by the muzzle. How do other guys do it?
If I don't get any better ideas I thought I might zero out the scope before mounting it. Then, remove the bolt so I can see through the barrel. Reassemble the gun and mount the scope. I could set the gun up on the bench with the scope pointed at something down range. (maybe a vertical line) Then look down the barrel and adjust the barrel until it's pointed at the same line. When I get the barrel and scope pointed at the same place at the same time, lock it down.?? Sounds like it should work. hmmm, Am I over thinking this?
Opinions?
