[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1503016, member: 60453"] Ok, now that you've sanded the channel, put it on the bipod and put pressure on it and check it to see if its still free floated. Then fire three rounds with the rifle from the bipod and three from a sandbag rest near the action. Remember to rest the butt of the weapon along with the bipod. If the groups overlap, the rifle is good. With handloads, you should get around 1 inch or less from the rifle. The new Ruger bedding system is one of the best out there, so if it works this time, don't change stocks. When you look through your scope, check the bubble level and see if the scope crosshairs are level with the bubble. If they are, the scope is also level. Don't try to move the dials for elevation. Shoot the aimpoints first. See how it does when you do that. I shoot Shepherd scopes and always use the aimpoints in the reticle. By the way, I just finished zeroing a friend of mine's Ruger American 30-06 with Sierra bullets. Groups were under an inch at 100 yards and it will hit within a couple of inches of the aimpoint in the Shepherd P2 scope out to 500 yards. That's as far as he needs. [/QUOTE]
