[QUOTE="TAC, post: 586574, member: 9236"] Your barrel may not be perfectly centered but it will function fine as long as you did not introduce stress during your bedding setup. It sounds to me like the aluminum block may not have been perfectly centered in the stock and when you snugged up the action it introduced stress back into your setup. to test this tighten up your action in the stock and then loosen the front action bolt slowly while observing the barrel. It's best if you can measure the change but if your bedding is adding stress you will see the barrel lift or change position. If you have a dial caliper you can check it easily. I do not use action bolts when bedding an action and instead use a pair of alignment rods threaded into the bolt holes. I push the action gently down into the bedding and use electrical tape to hold it in position - it takes very little pressure to hold it in place. There's lots of good information out there so I won't go further. If you want to correct your alignment you'll need to remove some bedding material and reapply. T [/QUOTE]
