[QUOTE="SDS, post: 27308, member: 342"] Right now would be a good time to say I don't know much about Remington actions. My best theory about what the rifle is doing is that the barrel is slapping the stock on firing. The zero-clearance full-length bedding is letting this happen because it is so close to the barrel. So out it goes. I wouldn't expect, though, that that by itself would be enough to explain 3" groups. Maybe 80% of the problem, though. I would free-float the heavy barrel (dollar bill clearance) with a pad of epoxy one inch long in front of the recoil lug. When us potatoheads say runout, we mean, is the case with a bullet in it radially symmetrical around the longitudinal axis? Put another way, we mean, if you grab one end of the cartridge and spin it, does the other end wobble or just go round and round? [/QUOTE]
