I went out and shot my .308 survivor with great results (1/2in group) after following Handi basics.
I then put on my new .223 bull barrel and shoot with also great results. So I put my .308 barrel back on and shoot another group, but it was high and right, way off. So I am thinking "what the ****"
then I notice that I didn't tighten up forearm screw snug, (I am using O ring) I tighten it up and everything is back to normal.
My question: How touchy is that forearm tension pressure? Does it have to be exact to get same zero? Or is close OK.
I don't understand since instead of using a rubber washer I used a piece of clear plastic tubing that I cut off and is about 1/4 in thick and really free floats the barrel front and back from forearm screw.
I am afraid to change barrels now with shooting season almost here.
