Well, I got to the range this afternoon to test the 'fix'.

What a surprise. Instead of shooting 2 1/2" all over the place, I'm down to about an inch, just what is advertised. The load is the same, only a .376" oversize hinge pin. Now I'm going to do some load development and I'm thinking of having the trigger re-worked. It's a bit sloppy and rough compared with the Shilen competition on my Rem 700 SingleShot. I'm sure that the groups would be smaller with a better trigger.

I got my frame from E. Authur Brown (Eabco). Before they shipped it, I had them do a trigger job because I had heard the triggers were kinda sloppy.

Well, I have two Rem 700 both custom. I thought they had a crisp trigger until I got this encore. Wow, is it nice. I would highly recommend EABCO.
Also, I understand that Mike B does good work on the triggers also.

I just got a 45/70 barrel back from Ea Brown. I was very impressed with thier work and they were spot on with thier estimated completion date. I would recomend that you look to them for future work. Good luck.
