[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 1135047, member: 5302"] No bedding touching the barrel at all. Otherwise, it's not "free floating." Yes, I can describe how to measure the movement of the bore axis in relation to the line of sight in varying shooting positions. But I'm waiting a little bit to see if someone else figures out how to do it. Gunsmiths and others often figure out how to measure all sorts of things on rifles. I've never read/heard of anyone else explaining how to do this. It's really quite simple if one thinks through what's happening and a procedure to measure it. 7magcreedmoor, on that Savage receiver, how much of its sides do you keep the bedding off of? I've never heard of anyone not bedding the complete sides of the receiver from the stock edge one one side all the way around its bottom to the other side. [/QUOTE]
