[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 227083, member: 8"] There are rifles that do not shot accurately off of a bipod, particularly if the bipod is on a hard surface. You can see if it will shoot better in dirt. If it does not like to shoot well off of a bipod then it probably will not like a hard rest under the foreend either. The next time you go to the range take a folded up towel to rest the fore end on and see if groups improve. I do not know anything about the plastic stocks but I would take all contact off the barrel except for the pressure points and see what that does for it. I would leave the pressure points alone until I was desperate. I would not do the credit card trick except for a limited amount of testing. What you are doing is torquing the action to gain barrel clearance. Only make one change at a time so you can tell what is happening. [/QUOTE]
