[QUOTE="Bishop, post: 414857, member: 26163"] Nothing actually wrong with it I just want better!! :) Part of it is my Savage .17 hmr, I can shoot as good with a 200 dollar rimfire with a 130$ Scope on it as my roughly 2000$ 300 mag. I have to get it grouping better than my squirrel gun!! I was hoping My groups would be a little better. My expectations might be a little on the high side for what I have. And in all likelyhood my "ability" may just not be on par yet. AHA! I floated the barrels on all my rimfires, they all had wooden stocks and I assumed they would require a bit of sanding with a dowel and some 80 grit. Upon reading your advice above I checked to see if my barrel was actually floated on My sendero it seems it is only floated to within 4 inches of the Lug *Im thinking the lug is the square block that rests within a slot cut into the bedding block within my stock correct me if im wrong* It does not appear to have the bumps at the end of the forearm within the barrel channel though. I dont know why it isnt free floating all the way back, I seem to remember checking this repeatedly right after I purchased my gun and I was able to run paper *like the cover of a notebook* all the way back to the action. Perhaps the forearm of my stock is a little flimsy? The action does slide back and forth just a tad when I loosen the screw's also. That contraption you showed sure looks nice, Ill look into getting my hands on one of those to perform the test you suggested. Big Thanks for your suggestions, they pointed me to a few flaws I overlooked. This stock, in spite of the aluminum bedding block looks *to my un-trained eye* like it could definately be improved upon by a good bedding job. It is alot sloppier than I would have figured. And I won't be buying any more expensive ammo for certain, that money is going into a shoebox for MOAR STUFF namely reloading equipment. Boy my wife will be thrilled..... [/QUOTE]
