[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 458442, member: 29241"] With that much of a pry bar-there is a lot of leverage on those 1/4" screws. they can flex and it permits the action to wallow out the bedding. I had that problem with a 30-378 Hall express G action with 1.5" straight taper 30" barrel. It gradually shot worse and I tried to restore accuracy-recrowned and even rechambered-nothing helped. In desperation I tried only thing left-bedding. Didnt think that would help but it did. I rebedded with bisonite (was originally bedded with bisonite with 2" extended in front of recoil lug) and accuracy returned. This was with a big action with no hole in the bottom-the remington 700 has a big hole in bottom and when trigger is pulled your action hooves in the middle (even with bedding out front for support) and wallows out the bedding. By the way-got to noticing the action screws on my Hall G-they were 10-32-way to small-drilled and tapped to 1/4-28. stopped most of my flexing. Your scuff marks may be caused by your action "bending" in the middle. A ramp epoxied in magazine hole will stiffen considerably and a one piece scope base will help a little. Long range hunting guns dont need a magazine anyway. [/QUOTE]
