[QUOTE="Fitch, post: 404922, member: 19372"] I hear that. I ended up with my Dad's 1953 Winchester Model 70 .30-06. It's a standard action in a supergrade stock. It didn't shoot worth beans. I wrestled with the thing for a while, then decided I'd do what it takes to make it shoot. So far I've bedded it, put a recoil pad on it, and firelapped the barrel. The bedding helped a lot. The firelapping didn't help accuracy at all, may have made it worse in fact and it took 0.040" out of the throat, but it cleans up faster, for what that's worth, which isn't much. Firelapping it was a mistake. Bedding and recoil pad wasn't. I just ordered a new .30 caliber 1:10 twist sporter weight barrel blank and will be giving it a new barrel this winter during shop season.
