[QUOTE="Marble, post: 1045419, member: 51354"] In theory is correct. Reality is the fit of the stock does make a difference in zero. It does not always change zero when the stock is removed, but it can and does. I have had the stocks off of my rifles before and it hasn't changed zero. But, on one of rifles I shot two horrible groups and could not figue it out. I checked the screws on the stock and they were loose. I tighten them up and the groups were tightened up. So, although I didn't remove the stock, just changing the torque of the action screws against the receiever made a huge difference. I have since bedded the entire action. I wonder if it would have the same results. [/QUOTE]
