[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1166908, member: 48043"] +1... If the trigger is crap and can't be tuned, ditch it... I wouldn't play with bedding on rifles that already shoot though. The only time bedding and/or floating a rifle really helps is when things are garfed up to begin with. My last float is my m700 lss lh 30-06. The rem stock was pressing on the barrel on one side and the rifle refused to shoot well until I could run a freight train through the barrel/ stock gap. My 7stw, which my 'smith and I built from action this summer, is NOT floated or bedded and is simply snugged into a Boyds Prairie hunter lh laminate stock cut out for a #5 contour barrel. The barrel has a bit of felt between it and the stock near the for-end. [/QUOTE]
