Thanks for the reply. Yeah;that's why I bought it. I'd only heard good reports about them. Until I did a bit of digging when trying to suss the problem. I'm not dissing the model; but from reading there does seem to be a consistent problem with a few. The common thread seems to be that opening the channel sorts it on those particular rifles. But do I risk cocking it up; or just cut my losses.....
One of my mates had exactly the same problem with a Ruger American; another rifle with a good reputation. He did the same as what I'm pondering and it shoots really well now.
