[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 895282, member: 46"] Thanks, Mark No, the action wasn't blueprinted, (unless the gunsmith trued it before barrel install) and yes, I know (now) that I should've had it pillar bedded. I really thought that I took out all the major variables and that it would've been good to go, finally! What I'm discerning from the shooting characteristics of this rifle is that both barrels were probably fine. They are both shooting almost identically, which leads me to believe the problem lies elsewhere. It shot the same with the barrel unfloated, so that's not the problem, either. It shot the same unbedded, and it shot the same with the old barrel. There is something fundamentally wrong somewhere in the action...there's gotta be. Could be the way it sits in the stock (bedded and unbedded,) could be the magazine box? Hell, I don't know anymore. Don't believe it's the rings/bases or the optics, as I've swapped out several of each to determine whether it was a bad scope/bad parallax, etc....Burris Fullfield II, Weaver Super Slam, and Zeiss Conquest, to be specific. Might try a new stock and see what happens--I've already sunk a bunch of money into this, and am ok with that. This is my quest! I gotta get this gun to shoot! [/QUOTE]
