[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1654122, member: 69192"] Curious I read in your OP where you stated that the rifle is bedded and floated. How much bedding do you have in front of the recoil lug? How much clearance do you have on the floated portion of the barrel. When I bed a rifle I always measure 4 inches in front of the recoil lug and float the rest of the barrel from there. I am not familiar with the contour of the Remington Sporter barrel, but....if the barrel is bedded too far ahead of the recoil lug and on the taper of the barrel, and the barrel heats up it will expand, the barrel expansion can lift the barrel out of the bedding and change the harmonics of the barrel. Something that you might want to check out. Also keeping the recoil lug screw and trigger guard screw torqued properly could help as well. I play with Rugers and changing the torque on the rear screw can sometimes make a difference about how it shoots. [/QUOTE]
