[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 3014901, member: 68542"] My grandpa had a weatherby mk v that he decided to bed. Accuracy went to hell in a handbasket the moment he did it. He messed with it over and over and finally called weatherby (this was 25+ years ago). The weatherby tech said that most of their rifles at the time have a pressure point that is necessary, and removing it will destroy accuracy. The weatherby tech suggested picking a spot 2/3 of the way up the stock (measuring from the action forward) and taking a stack of sticky shipping labels, and stacking them up until they come into contact with the barrel. Then go shoot a group and see if the it has tightened in. If not, let it cool, put in another label, shoot again. Do that until groups tighten up. Then use that height as a guide to build up a pressure point with acraglas, and tear out the labels when you're done. My gramps followed those directions and it worked like a charm. [/QUOTE]
