[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 716056, member: 21068"] As would I. Some of my factory rifles improved dramatically with bedding and floating the barrel, some there was not much improvement, but it definately doesn't hurt and there wont be any question about POI shift due to barrel touching the stock anymore. If accuracy drops off after a proper bed and float job, then the barrel is likely too flimsy or light and needs replaced anyway. OR, the problem is scope and/or mount related. I've been told by a few different reputable smiths, that if the bedding job is done right with pillars and the action is true; then screw torque doesn't matter, just make it snug enough to not come loose without stretching the screws in the process.
