[QUOTE="FullCurl8, post: 2946661, member: 114787"] Free floating is always the goal, but when it doesn't work, make the barrel go where You want it. Typically bedding material is placed on last 3/4" of stock tip, let it set for 20 min, then wrap action behind recoil lug area and rear of action with 4 or 5 wraps of electric tape. Place stock upside down in vice, coat barrel with a release agent and mount barrelled action until screws are just snug. Depending on the tape thickness you should get about .020 to .025 bedding. Take tape off after about 24hrs and remount action. If action bedding is tight you may just have to cut pieces of tape and place on bottom of receiver. I may have missed a couple of steps but thats the basis. I suspect this will improve it significantly. [/QUOTE]
