[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 224543, member: 7449"] If it were mine. . . I'd shoot the rifle first with good quality ammunition in as wide a variety of weather conditions (within reason) and then evaluate all the targets. 1. If there is a significant change in either accuracy or group center (that cannot be traced back to the ammunition) then I'd consider bedding the action in a more conventional/traditional manner. 2. I'd also pay careful attention to ensure some other peripheral issue isn't responsible for the change. This could be a number of things such as: The bolt contacting the stock while in battery, a recoil lug bottoming out, intermittent barrel contact with the forend, screw hole location issues between the action, stock, and floor metal, and/or a guard screw contacting the bolt (front). Is the trigger touching the inside of the stock anywhere? 3. Is the "stock problem" actually an optics issue? Parallax, poor quality, and/or poor mounts can and will alter/effect accuracy and group center as well. 4. Your baseline. How did the gun perform in the factory stock? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
