[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 936891, member: 55944"] I recently helped a friend out with this same issue. He has the stainless fluted SpS varmint 223 and it wouldn't shoot for anything. He was shooting off a bipod and sand bags at times. The cheap plastic stock was contacting the barrel and making terrible groups. I epoxied two 3/8"x12" threaded rods in the fore end and bedded the action so it would sit a little higher and I wouldn't have to whittle the plastic to free float the barrel. He took it out the next day and put five rounds through the same hole when before it was about 2.5" groups. Try supporting the rifle with a sand bag right below the action and see if it shoots better; that will help you see if the flimsy fore end is your issue. [/QUOTE]
