What did I do? Problem after bedding - shoots high now
I have had this 112 heavy barrel 223 for about 13 years. It always shoots great. I bedded it in a VLP stock and now it shoots so high I can't adjust the scope. It is about 5 inches higher than I can adjust for. I tried a different scope and it is still high, both Leupolds in the same mounts that have always been on the rifle. I actually ground it all out and rebedded it and it still is high, nothing changed. I am far from being good at bedding but it ain't brain surgery.
What the heck could have I done wrong? I could take my swift out of its stock just to see what happens but it is shooting fine. :)
I didn't mean to keep you waiting.
I tried it in an unmolested BVSS stock and it shot the same - 5 inches high. I gave up and put a set of Burris rings with the offset bushings and it is fine. Groups great like it always has. I never figured out what I did but it shoots as good as it always has. I used brown shoe polish as my release agent - I didn't wipe enough off to prevent the brown stains on the bedding - oops.
