[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 217339, member: 7449"] [b]Bedding[/b] Done properly, a rifle should not experience a zero shift when the barreled action is removed/installed in the stock. How can I possibly say this? It's cause 1000 yard shooters quite often have to fly/drive long distances to matches (all over the world) and it's not realistic to case a rifle thats in excess of 50 inches long from recoil pad to muzzle crown. So, the the sights come off and the barreled action is pulled from the stock. It only takes a couple sighters to get back on track once all this is put back together. The zeros recorded in data logs and notebooks very seldom change and when they do, it's typically from an atmospheric change in conditions. A torque wrench is an essential piece of gear here. Even more critical in smallbore shooting. Just an FYI. [/QUOTE]
