[QUOTE="7stw, post: 603505, member: 22854"] I have been fooling with a CDL 'in 7mm ultra mag since about November.groups suck, trigger sucks, etc. I adjusted trigger and got it acceptable for now, but a better one to come later. Meanwhile, my groups were telling me that I had a bedding issue. Well,I thought about full bedding the action, and floating the barrel, but I remember reading that some " factory" barrels like pressure on the front end. My rifle had this now, but I don't think it was constant. I went to the range yesterday, but I put a business card under the barrel, on top off the raised boss in the forward stock. I shot the tightest groups that this rifle has fired to date. Groups at 100 ran in the threes, at 200, .496. So the question is, should I pillar bed, and then fully bed the action, and add a shim to the front end, or just glass bed action and float barrel????? What is the concensus on floating the barrel versus shimming front . I have been spoiled with aluminum bedding blocks in most off my other guns and haven't hade bedding issues in awhile. I was considering dumping this thing, cause the accuracy just was not there. Thanks guys, AIM SMALL,MISS SMALL, 7STW. lightbulb [/QUOTE]
