so, i pulled the bolt out and there aren't any scratches or marrs where it looks like a screw has been rubbing the bolt lugs. guess i could unscrew the action screws and take the barreled action outta the stock and reseat the action into the stock lug. i don't think thats it but i'm ready to try something different short of bedding. all my other tikkas shoot half minute routinely as long as i squeeze the trigger right but this one is a touch different. best i've gotten is 3/4" which i'm fine with if its repeatable.
