Thanks for the replies. No signs of a bent barrel unless the bend is so slight as not to be detectable without a straightness gage. The first 8 shots out of the rifle with no sight changes from the way I got it went about 6'' high and 4'' right at 50 yds, with both sights centered. The rear sight appears to be correctly assembled and the front sight is the same height as the spares I have. I found the stock to be a very loose fit, no tension on the trigger gard when closing and the barreled action would fall out on it's own when turned up side down. Also noticed it was possible to move the action forward and backward a bit with the trigger gard closed. One other thing I found was that the rear handgard was tight up against the stock on the right side. What I've done so far is to relieve the handgard and bed the action in a different tighter fitting stock. Waiting for the bedding to cure then I'll see it it improved anything.
