Been having issues for a while now. Couldnt understand why my rifle went from surgical precision to not being able to group anymore. I bought a shim kit back when i tried to make a dental floss shim and damaged my seal. With my metal shims i decided to not follow the directions. Early on i had the right amount. But for some dumb reason i decided to add all three and forgot about it. Then suddenly my rifle wasnt grouping. After about 50-75 shots tonight and nearly thinking of trading my Remstein(New name for it, since Remmy has been taken and since there are many like it, but this one is mine.) for a multi-pump i sat down and just thought about stuff. Made sure screws were tight early on...Adjusted my hold countless times, all groups were 1 inch or so apart.Then i thought about the shims...and that was it, one too many.

Like everything else, shimming has to be done the right away, and experimentation sometimes is required. Glad you figured it out.
