So I bought a 7mm08 and as soon as I got it I bedded the hogue stock that came with it first time we went to the range it shot great Got it sighted in with 7 shots with groups just over 1/4in but range was 50yds so I was impressed to say the least go again today to verify and take it to the longer range and everything’s going well the first three rounds at 100 and under 1/2 inch so I was extremely impressed and then all hell broke lose next 5 round string was about 2 inches pretty shocked I let it cool even though the barrel was well under 100 degrees ( felt around 85 but I didn’t have my laser gun to check) go back to shoot it groups are around 4 inches so I decided to call it a day and figure out what’s going on I talked with the range masters who were shooting with me and after got I home put it in the vice and looked around I couldn’t see any cracks or splitting of any kind and am assuming that may just be a combo of how I bedded it and with it being not a high quality stock that when I mixed the resin that I mixed it too hot and it burned through too much material and I’ll need to order a new one so I did that already it will be here Saturday,But anything else you guys think I should check out while I’m at it???
