[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 471493, member: 21068"] Reading this kinda makes me nervous. I am currently in the process of having the same gun bedded and floated. My issue wasn't group size (avg. group was right around 1 MOA, but could get 1/3 moa when the stars aligned just right). Shift in POI from one day to the next with same ammo from same box under same conditions was the problem. I guess if I loose precision after the bed/float I'll have to re-think this project and maybe re-barrel.? I'm thinking I'd rather have slightly bigger groups (on this particular rifle) than have the POI shift 1-1.5 moa from one day to the next. This shift I saw was done with pedestal type benchrest too. I hesitate to say how much shift I would have seen from different shooting positions and different stock pressure. I know that I am not really answering your question, just contributing some info; hope you don't mind. [/QUOTE]
