[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 477300, member: 24624"] As Sbruce alluded to, one major problem with pressure points and wood stocks is that POI will shift with changes in temperature and humidity. JE's solution is a great option if the above isn't a concern for you. And, it may be all that you need to statisfy your requirements. But, it's a band aid nonetheless. Otherwise, I would see how the rifle shoots with the action properly bedded and torqued and with the barrel fully floated and a new load workup as JE also suggested. If that doesn't pan out, then you should probably start thinking about a new barrel and bluepriting from a good smith. It doesn't take a lot of wasted ammo while tinkering with a persnicketty factory rifle to justify getting it fixed up right with a custom rebarrel and accuracy package. Best of luck! Richard [/QUOTE]
