[QUOTE="4bycamper, post: 526723, member: 17128"] Have you glass bedded your action in to the stock? This sounds like an old 270 Win Featherweight that I had. The barrel was touching the stock just a little, but after the first shot the barrel warmed and warped just enough to clear the stock. With my hunting rifles,I usually bed the first 2" of barrel, the recoil lug and 3or 4" of the action. The easiest bedding compound to use is plumbers epoxy type putty. I'm sure Devcon makes a better finished product, but the twist and apply stuff is so easy to use. Be sure to get some mold release for your action. Both of my hinting rifles are bedded. In my experience a bedded rifle with a free floated barrel always shoots better . Good luck with this. [/QUOTE]
