[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2628746, member: 36951"] I found a Ridgeline in 280AI (no, not a 30 magnum) at local pawn shop. A crackhead had "fixed" the bedding with a Dremel and some intoxicants. Price was right so I thought I'd try it. Even with the barrel buried in the tip of the forend and shooting off the hood of the truck filled with kids and dogs, it showed promise (MOA) with handloads. With the stock properly bedded and the barrel channel re-filled with with bedding (barrel free-floated) to undo the intoxicated Dremeling, it often shoots bullets touching at 100 yds. My 12 year old just made hits on steel at 960 yds with that gun. Given its storied past, I am quite happy with it. As an aside, I am using 162 SST, formed brass from commerical '06 and IMR 4831, getting 2950fps. There is hope. Contact CA directly and find out. The only way I can nicely reference FDR is to paraphrase: The only thing you have to fear is fear itself. If they won't fix it, you can. I would start with bedding the action in the stock and the rail on the gun. Coat receiver and rail with Kiwi if you want to be able to remove it later. [/QUOTE]
