[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 319214, member: 20522"] thanks for all your help, im glad i asked the question, and came to the right place. Do you have to use gunsmithing epoxies or are autobody grade products like duraglass good enough or do you not want to mess around with stuff that isnt proven, And what type of aluminum do you use have you played around with different types annealed or not? do you know if a 2024 is better than say a 6061 or a 7075 ? and what about titanium, is that going to make a difference or is what we can do with glass and aluminum about as far as you can push it? i mean how much better than .5 MOA can you go? One more thing floating barrel or bedded, in my last post i didnt ask the right question A heavy bull barrel by itself resists vibration so it wont vibrate when shot, so that it cant hit the stock, so it wont affect the returnable zero of the barrel so bedding wont affect the vibration hence the zero of the barrel. A thin barrel needs to vibrate right? Thats the whole point of free floating. when a shot is fired the barrel moves about a little bit and if it hits the stock, it might not do the same thing everytime affecting the reapeatability of the gun, and the return to the "zero" the natural resting point of the barrel. So they channel the stock out to give the barrel enough room to move about and zero every time. It seems like bedding the action is always a good idea and depending on the barrel type you should free float ( or leave it that way, alot of the guns ive looked at are floating barrels) or fully bed the gun. It seems like they both do a good thing, the barrel type should really dictate what you do, not bias of some sort. Has there been any research on this if anyone knows of it id like a i link thanks :) [/QUOTE]
