.... Thanks Guys for the suggestions ! The Mauser site certainly gave me a better idea of how to improve/correct the grouping. I've "bedded" as per suggestions from there,and as I suspected, the for-end was tight in the wrong places ! I also double checked "Bearhunters" suggestion as to the "pillars" all present and correct. ( I think I'll try to grab a broken aluminum arrow shaft for future use ! ) ..... Now that Christmas is over, once the kids are back in School, I'll have the time to hit the Range and see how the changes affect things ! .... Thanks again ! ..... David K. .....
