Hal,
IMHO Pad locations are crucial when fitted by whichever manufacturer, and if the holes that hold them in place are drilled incorrectly, even out by a knats whisker it will make an ultimate difference to the fall of shot when a scope is fitted. It will later also cause dramas in the inevitable movement of the scope and tightening region needed before shooting.
So in short, the correct LE pad template was not used or was incorrect when the front pad was fitted on this rifle IMHO!!

Meant to say, if it looks like a bitzer, is the 19T repeated on the barrel and the back of the bolt handle, just me being over safe, just in case its been thrown into the rifle with no consideration of the tonnage implications on the barrel which will be clearly stamped correctly??
