[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 1996366, member: 313"] I've got a custom rifle that I recently started working with. While a few good groups were attainable, they were not repeatable. The results seemed more like an optic/mount issue. Yesterday I grabbed the scope by hand and tried to move it and was shocked to see the entire barreled action roll in the stock. I was able to roll it clockwise and counter-clockwise a small amount and was even able to slide it forward and backward at least an 1/8", maybe more. Went home and removed the screws, which were only finger tight, and looked at the bedding. The bedding looked very well done but I could easily move the action around while holding it down into the bedded stock. None of my other bedded rifles will allow the action to be moved when set down into the bedding. I installed the action screws and torqued them to 65 in/lbs and everything seems tight but I just can't believe that this is right. What do you guys think? [/QUOTE]
