[QUOTE="crittergitter, post: 458092, member: 8098"] Well, before the scope went south, I was shooting under 2 inch groups at 600 yards with it (300 grain SMK @ 3030 fps). After looking at the bedding, stock design, and marks, I think the marks are the result of twist on the forend when I tote the 20 # rig around by the sling. The marks are 2 horizontal lines, 180 degrees apart on the sides of the bedding job. I've got the crossbolt swivel studs and a barrel heavy gun. I put a long, wide sling on it this year and started carrying it on my right hip with the barrel forward and my right hand using the bipod leg as a handle. I suppose I have put a lot of side to side torque on the forend hiking up the steep hills where I hunt. I think I can fill the bottom of the forend with bedding compound and firm it up some. I was exploring the option of changing stocks to a lighter weight design that has to be completely free floated, but I think that adequately supporting my oversized tube is probably of greatest importance after looking over the responses. Thanks again for the help. [/QUOTE]
