I have a 1962 production 243 that woudn't shoot well. I replaced the old Bushnell with a new Leupold vx-11 and loaded some 95 grain Noslers with IMR 4350. 3 shot groups tightend immediatedly to about 1", but there was a problem. Point of impact at 100 yards was slightly (3/4" ) left, but POI at 200 was 2" right. Wind was light and from 6:00 oclock. My conclusion is that the scope is not on the same axis as the bore. Of course, I can move the windage adj on the Sako mounts, but how do I measure to ensure that everthing is lined up. Also, the barrel has lots of copper and is sitting in vice now with the tube loaded with Wipeout.
Its been a long time since I worked on a Sako trigger, but I seem to recall that my 1963 production rifle had three adjustment screws. The trigger on the current rifle only has one screw to adjust weight of pull and three pounds is it!
