[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 687574, member: 5302"] If your Cooey shoots that well ("stacking" typically means center-to-center hole spacing between the widest ones' no more than bullet diameter) in free recoil, that's truly amazing. But don't feel bad about not shooting that well when it's held against your shoulder; all firearms shoot more accurate when fired in totally free recoil unhindered by us humans who don't hold firearms exactly the same way for each shot. I'd epoxy bed just the barrel with a 2 to 3 inch pad centered on the stock screw in its fore end. Then clear away the stock material around the action as well as the rest of the barrel. This would be about the same as some competition rifles are built with their barrel clamped a ways back from mid point in an aluminum block epoxy bedded in the fore end. It sort of replicates how benchrest rail guns and test barrels are often mounted in a free recoiling base. I'd suggest about 20 to 30 inch pounds of torque on that stock screw as a starter; .22 rimfire match rifles whose receivers are epoxy bedded in wood stocks typically shoot best when their stock screws are torqued in that range.
