[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 847033, member: 2736"] Rick. I have dealt with short light barrels many times and found that bedding the first inch next to the receiver seemed to improve accuracy. The best thing was to add a weight to the muzzle (This dampened the harmonics of the barrel) A good brake with some weight can also do this and tame muzzle rise. As with all tapered/contoured barrels if you bed the entire barrel as it heats up being tapered it pushes against the stock changing the POI. I would bed the action and install a good break.
