[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 208855, member: 2215"] I would reccomend doing just as you mentioned in your last post. Bed it with the barrel 100% free floated. If it shoots, great, your done. If you want to try to put a pressure pad on the tip pace the rifle in a padded vise and get a 10 - 15 lbs. weight and hang it from the front swivel stud by a wire. Put a little bedding at the point you want the pressure pad and re-install the barreled action (make sure you use rlease agent though). Let it dry for a day or two. When you remove the weight you will have 10-15 lbs of upward pressure pushing on the barrel. The other way would be to install a threaded plug in the forearm and inside of the plug use a brass tipped set screw. You can then adjust the pressure put on the barrel. When you get it where you want put a little loc-tite on the threads and let it run into the plug. I've done the secondary method on a target .22 once more as a tuner than a pressure pad though. I still think it will probably shoot best free floated though. [/QUOTE]
