What A Fiasco!


Recommended Posts

After work I returned to a place I stalked a fox in the dark a few weeks ago but heavy drizzle ruined it!

Soaked rifle, scope and glasses prevented a shot at short range.

 

Last week I missed another fox but connected on another but not ideal!

What has that got to do with tonight?

Well I made another bad shot tonight!

It's ok, soon ended but the vixen ended up in water so it's not a pretty site!

Hmmm, I better check zero, this is not normal!

 

Sure enough, low and left and no grouping!

 

This rifle when I got it shot badly. The bedding is very poor. I added some pads and hey presto shot nice tight groups.

 

So when I got home I checked the bedding and it looks like the stock has given way just at the contact points.

I have added leather pads now but fear that is a mistake but at least I can test it tomorrow to confirm my suspicion!

 

Always something going on.....

Thanks, I got to the bottom of it now.

 

The stock on my cz452 is terrible for the receiver and I soon learnt that sitting the action on pads to lift it out the stock and give the barrel more clearance it snugged my groups down a treat.

Well it turns out the pads had sunk into the timber so I made some new ones from hard full kip leather and hey presto normal service has returned.

 

100 yds rested but shot quickly.
