[QUOTE="Striker77s, post: 474036, member: 28584"] This was my first bedding job and I set the action and barrel a little too low in the stock. So I skim bedding it again and it turned out very well considering it was my first time. I took it to the range and shot from a lead sled to reduce any human error. I shot three groups of 3 rounds. My vertical spread at 100 yards was from 0.25" to 0.5" which is as good as can be expected for a factory rifle. Unfortunately my horizontal spread was from 1.2" to 2.2". I can't figure out exactly why I'm getting such a large horizontal spread. The wind was very mild. I checked my scope and it was secure and my action was solid into the bedding. The barrel is free floating with a large clearance. The only thing I can think of is a bad scope? Any ideas what could cause such a large variation in just the horizontal spread? [/QUOTE]
