[QUOTE="Bwht4x4, post: 787255, member: 44672"] The link below is to a thread I started about bedding the action and then it transformed into a discussion on the barrel and gunsmith work. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/bed-not-bed-recoil-lug-new-mcmillian-edge-stock-110885/index3.html[/url] As you can see by the two targets in the thread that the groups aren't horrible, but I think it should be able to shoot much tighter (closer to 1/2 MOA). The good thing was the consistent groups between the two different factory loads. There's a good chance the barrel will shoot better after a hundred rounds or so, but I don't know if I want to put that much money in ammo down it to "POSSIBLY" have it shoot better. I have an older Rem 700 that isn't even bedded that can shoot 3/4 MOA. I realize newer Rem 700s aren't what they use to be...hence my desire to re-barrel it. [/QUOTE]
