My targets were at 100 yds.
I don’t think stock fitting is a “problem” here, ‘cause ALL these Mausers shoot high . . . .designed that way!
As far as “shimming” goes . . . .Both the ‘03 and Garand are given barrel pressure, BUT . . . .
With bolt action (‘03) the tip pressure is UP.
With the Garand, the tip pressure (at the lower band) is DOWN.
