[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Range Report/strange experience

Posted: 9/20/2008 5:56:21 PM EDT

About a month ago, I took a cheapie rem 700 adl, put a new stock on (a used bdl stock) and a 10 round detach mag conversion.

Shot it today, and it was dead on bullseye. Exactly where it was with the old stock. I would have thought I would have to rezero.

That is a good thing.

You didn't take the scope loose from the barrel did you? As long as you didn't jar it, it should still be in line with the bore.

No, I didn't. I knew that connection was solid. But with all the talk about having free floating barrels (this was/is not), and glass bedding the receiver, etc. I would have expected a point of impact shift.

Yes to the above, and that thing looks like it would be fun to shoot!
