[QUOTE="j_unzicker, post: 748255, member: 28887"] I'm not frustrated with the change in accuracy. For me it is a good opportunity to learn more about how a rifle shoots. I'm not a perfectionist and I'm OK with how it shoots. I just wanting to learn more while dong a fun project. Unfortunately I don't have an instrament to measure stress. However, I am pretty sure the bed job is stress free without any high points. The mag box isn't bound and the back of the lug is tight against the bed. I shaved back the bedding in front of the lug leaving only about 1/4". After 1/4" the sporter barrel starts to taper. I read somewhere that bedding forward into the taper of the barrel could cause inconsistent harmonics. Anyway...I'll update you on if this makes any difference. If not, I will remove the remaining 1/4" of bed in front of the lug and shoot again. Thanks for your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
