Hey Rutro that would have been a pretty good group except for the 1 flier. So far you are in first place. I'm hoppen I won't have to work this weekend. If I don't I'll give it a try.

Hey Cajungeo, That flyer was bugging me to no end yesterday. It was there in almost every group. I even tried busting one off at an old target to get a recoil loaded round before I shot at the contest target. That didn't work, tried to anticapate and hold over for it, no joy. I was shooting without the Biathlon Stabilizer to get some good group averages before getting it shot in. Besides I forgot to put it in my range bag. So when I got back to the house I jumped into the big middle of the mini and broke it down to clean and see if there was a reason. The only thing I found, and it was by accident, was the trigger group was not locking up very tight to the receiver. I was lookin at the trigger guard hooks and noticed the wear on them was uneven. So I put it in the receiver and snaped it shut. It was loose as a goose. The side with less wear did not even contact the lug enough to hold it a little bit. After some southern enginering and a little brogan adjustment I snaped it back in and now it's t-y tight!!! I hope that cures those flyers because I could not find anything else that may have even remotely caused them. I was even getting to the point where I was going to rebed it. :blink: So tell that walking boss at work you need to go see Dr.Range this weekend and you can't be there. Tell 'em it's real important cause you're going through gun powder withdrawels and you may have a seasure. :lol: :lol: :lol:

So the flier was random? Sounds like you found it. I am haveing withdrawl symptoms. I got a little fix last week end taking my 10/22's, but I need some major fire power to get the cure. ;)

Yes it was random. The couple of times I burned the first round and tried the recoil loaded round once it went a little low left and once it didn't. I hope that was it, almost pulled all my hair out and ain't much left now anyway.
