[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 1224390, member: 59915"] The bedding doesn't look ideal to me but I don't think is bad enough to cause two groups. To me it's either something to do with the lead sled not having the same amount of pressure on the stock each shot like on your shoulder or the barrel touching the stock. On your shoulder you can feel if you have the same amount of pressure on the stock for each shot. On the sled if it's not seated in there the exact same and the bags in the exact same position every time it can change harmonics. Now if the stock is too flimsy and there is not enough free float room those changes in harmonics can cause the barrel to touch the stock on some shots and not others, causing two groups. 1.Lose the sled and use your shoulder. Use front and rear bags or some kind of solid mechanical front rest that will allow the stock to move freely and a rear bag. 2. Grip the end of the forearm and barrel and squeeze. If you can make the stock touch the barrel on either a side or the bottom then there is not enough float room for the stiffness of the stock. People say Tupperware flimsy stocks won't ever shoot well and that's Bologna. I have several on budget guns that are as flimsy as they come, BUT I have bedded the receiver area so it does not flex AND sanded out the forearms to almost 1/8" of float clearance so that no matter what it will not flex into the barrel. And they shoot 1/4 to 1/2 moa. [/QUOTE]
