Yesterday wife and I noticed her rifle, in the bipod, is "twisted", it's like the gun is leaning left. Her bipod does NOT swivel.
In playing around I noticed the sling mount is turned slightly, so the if you stand the gun on the butt, one side of the mount, the hole is lower than the other, as if someone twisted the sling mount in the gun. Looking at it, I can't tell if it turns or not and I am very hesitant to just grab it with pliers and try to straighten it without knowing if it should turn in the forearm of the stock.
The rifle was NOT like this before. It may help explain why on her antelope, her shot, while it dropped the buck with a neck show, it was off to the right of where she aimed (scope crosshairs and barrel are not in the same plane)
We are upgrading her bipod to a longer one that swivels, but still want to know if I should try to turn that sling mount
Rifle is a TC-Venture
