[QUOTE="jrock, post: 1393327, member: 78569"] Back before I did my own gun work, I had a sporter with a tupperwear stock that would not group consistently. I tried firm and soft fore end rests with no improvement. I tried firmly gripping the fore end and noticed that my grip affected the POI. (light bulb) I took it to a smith who then free floated it and bedded the recoil lug. No problems after that. I also has one with a floated barrel but when a bipod was used, it flexed the stock enough to make contact. Had to have 0.050"+ gap at the fore end before it wouldn't touch. Therefore, how is POI effected when using a fore end bedding method in conjunction with a bipod? Seems that using a bipod, branch, or fence as a fore end rest would cause POI changes. Using a backpack that spreads the weight out may not affect POI as much!?!? I guess all this information just gives me an excuse to go shoot more;) BTW, the stock I plan to use is carbon fiber. I expect very little flex. phorwath, I can't shoot well enough to determine that fiberglass or laminated stocks change with weather.:) [/QUOTE]
