[QUOTE="Carlos88, post: 2447731, member: 116554"] Take your rifle apart, put it back together. Same torque, etc. Does it shoot to the same place? Groups change? Overly sensitive to torque values/amounts? Fliers? Of the mind you don't dare change anything for fear the rifle ju-ju might be lost? Ever shoot one of your rigs with only the front action screw tightened to your preferred torque value? I have and not so unsurprisingly the rifle shot within the previous groups but were just a bit larger. The omission of the rear screw was unintentional but it proved to me the method works. It's worked for me and every other rifle I've bedded for friends and acquaintances. BTW, ever hear of the Kimber roulette? The steps I take eliminate it along with a couple of other minor items such as overly long base screws, magazine depth being incorrect,etc. I have bedded floorplates and magazine boxes but doing so never seemed to make a difference in group size, repeatability, etc. You'll never agree with my method and that's OK. I'm simply eliminating variables on hunting rifles which in the end is what this is all about. I'll post pics of group sizes, take the rifle apart with pics, put it back together and shoot again (with this 280AI), post pics etc and we'll see if I'm anywhere close to being right. [/QUOTE]
