    Tikka in Bell & Carlson Stock issues

    Recently I bought a Tikka 7mm Rem Mag with muzzle brake which came with a Bell & Carlson stock.

    I topped the rifle off with a VX-5 3-15 which is by all accounts so far a great scope in Sako optilocks.

    Over the past few weeks I’ve run some range tests with various loads… privi brass, 162 gr A-Max, RE26 powder but results have been inconsistent, one load would be 1 1/2 inches where I’d try the load another day and it would be 4 inches.

    I have the rounds at recommended COAL of 3.29 inch

    I did run some loads at magazine length but groupings were worse.

    Last night I stripped the rifle & retightened everything.

    I thought I’d post up a thread here before I shoot off too many components as some brighter spark might have the answer.

    I’m thinking of running another couple of loads through the rifle after reassembling the rifle.

    Or… should I look at getting the rifle bedded?

    Thoughts?
