Another case of a "walking Mannlicher". Two things I found on mine. First they have a little recoil lug, nothing like a Mauser, -03 or Model 70. On mine the old wood was a bit wollered out so I glass bedded the lug, up forward of the lug a bit and back to the magazine well. That helped. With the load I'm using 1st shot was an X every time if I did my part....then it would start walking again. I was advised to check the forward sling swivel and if needed enlarge the hole where the sling stirrup screw passes through the barrel lug. There was no interference there but I did notice that the stock mortise where the sling swivel lug rested was...battered is too strong a word but you could see where the lug was bottoming in the stock and bouncing at the rear of the mortise. I carefully relieved the wood from both areas and the walking ceased. Mine won't shoot even MOA but I will not scope it. Scoped I'm certain it would tighten up.
