Back to the original topic, got the Leupy and went to work groups right back on the money. Then we got funny again.Dug around in the closet and got the smallest lightest known value scope, an old old Bushnell 2.5. Light and rugged. A little work with it convinced me to further check. Most of the time I shoot near free-recoil, but not completely. Sometimes we choke a bit. THe tupper ware stocks can cure a but further from new and warp a bit. Choking pulled the stock into contact with the barrel and the on aagin off again pressure made funny things happen. Some stock cleanup and a shim behind the recoil lug and all is well with the world. Makes me think a laminate might be better. A couple of other notes. The Meopta seems to be OK but its too durn heavy for the amount of recoil, needs better rings than the ones I used- Brownell somethings, They were actuallly trying to climb over the warne bases/mounts. You want a 21 oz scope you need some serious rings. The little 10 oz leupy in a good simple set of steel rings seems to be just fine. Lessons learned!
