[QUOTE="Stonewall2, post: 162933, member: 6935"] The Weatherby factory bedding in the wood stock should have a slight clearance - floated from the receiver ring forward to the pressure point. The pressure point should be like a v block -the very bottom and top edges should have a .010 clearance . There should be aproximately 15 lbs up pressure on the barrel- test by putting a piece of cigeratte paper between barrel and stock pressure point. Pull down on front swivel stud with fish scale. The best way to fix this is by using Fisher scrapers [url=http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/productdetail.aspx?p=6521&st=fisher%20scrapers&s=]SCRAPERS at Brownells[/url] and lampblack -lipstick . You can also use two short sections of wood dowels about 1.5" long to make a sanding tool . Wrap one with sandpaper and attach the other as a handle with two wood screws in a figure 8 . Seal the wood with some acra glass rubbed in . You can use a boresighter with the stock supported in a proper padded vise to check that stock is not warped . Back off the front guard screw and watch the reticle move. You could float that barrel completely but the factory method works very well if the stock is stable. I've bedded and shot these rifles - I still own a couple . The bottom surface of the recoil lug needs to be bedded to support the front screw. Glenn [/QUOTE]
