[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2075022, member: 10755"] If it’s not the bedding causing this issue, then I have seen this on rifles that have had the barrel over-torqued to the action. I have tried every torque when putting barrels on, if it’s a switch barrel, I just nip them up, but if it’s permanent, I have found 75lbs/ft to be a good torque on stainless and 65lbs/ft on carbon. I know others use tighter, but I see no need, as my Comp barrels are screwed in by hand and snapped into home and have never caused a problem. I would use regular white chalk, cover the entire action/barrel bottom and put it together and see if there are ANY tight spots, or indicators of movement by firing 5 rounds, then carefully dismantle and look. I have never seen a barrel the cause of 2 close and then a flier, have seen this caused by a scope problem and bedding issues. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
