[QUOTE="blong, post: 60553, member: 3034"] Fiftydriver, I was just curious as I have a Rem 700 LVSF in 7mm08 that I would like to make a little more accurate. It always puts the 1st couple shots really close, but the 3rd shot always seems to be about 1/2 - 3/4 inch from them. The barrel only has about 40 rds through it so far (and I have been following a break in procedure). I have read in several places that the best places to start as far as a factory rifle are concerned are the trigger, bedding and crown. I have had the trigger lightened to 3lb, it has been glass bedded (in addition to the pillar bedding it had from the factory), so I figured I would try the crown next (since it is fairly cheap). I was just curious how much I would lose off the barrel since it is only 22" to start with. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
