Thread: Does removing action from the stock change zero?

yes BW right my 788 Rem .308 might be only two clicks out but my old .222 Tikka 590 would be 7-8 clicks high and 2-3 clicks of windage out at 100 metres if pulled apart but both once zeroed again would hold zero - the 788 Rem was amazing for holding zero especially for a wooden stock
