I recently had one of my model 70s rebarreled to a 7-08. I am waiting on a custom stock for it, so I threw it in an old plastic model 70 stock and took it to the range. It shot terrible. Three different factory loads were well over 3 MOA. Now, the stock is not bedded and has no aluminum block. The barrel is touching the stock as well. My question is whether or not such poor accuracy can be expected with a low quality stock and bad stock fit like this? It’s only temporary because the new stock that’s coming will be bedded to the rifle. But…I wouldn’t have expected the accuracy to be as bad as it was. Makes me wonder a bit about the barrel. I will try again with some different weight bullets as well. Thoughts and experiences welcome…
Thanks
Oh, and the rifle is wearing a SWFA 3-15 with mountain tech rings….
