Angry Problems still witht eh 6mm P-H

Hi All,

Got the bedding done and this rifle still won't shoot well so on someones suggestion I checked the crown using a cotton bud. It seemed to snag a bit, the barrel has a Recessed Target crown, ot rather had because I used a hand countersink and did a countersink to the bottom of the grooves and smoothed it out.

I also changed the scope mounts totally. It had P-H blocks and rings which I have never really been fond of. It now has Weaver bases and some B-Square rings which I had in the drawer but found they foul the ball of the bolt handle so later will swop them out for a lower ring which hopefully will clear.

Just been on the phone to the Gunshop about a new scope for the rifle. Budget is severely restricted right now so it will have to be budget scope and will be looking at 4-12x42 Nikko-Sterling Gold in the next few days.

If this all does not improve the grouping then I am somewhat at a loss where to go next. I suppose taking it to the riflesmith for evaluation and testing would most likely be the logical thing to do then.
