Sorry Jimmy 6.5, I can't help with your accuracy problems (I've got the same cal, Sako 75, and as yet unresolved accuracy issues ), but while the action is out of the stock its a good time to lighten your trigger by turning the adjustment grub screw CCW. The grub screw is in behind the shiny hex head screw (in the photo )that holds the trigger assy to the action.

The two pins both fit into blind holes. They are retained by the inletting in the stock, and should be an interference fit. Be careful if you strip the action down and remove the pins, bolt release and ejector. There is one really small coil spring under the bolt release and two under the ejector... they are not interchangeable.

I stripped my Sako 85 6.5 x 55 down after I drowned it this last winter, and lubed the pins and springs to prevent corrosion setting in.

Good luck, B.
