[QUOTE="Philward, post: 1856749, member: 92604"] I've done 2 full length beddings, first was a Remington 700 MTN rifle 270 win after having some accuracy issues. Someone previously had carved on the stock and free floated the barrel so I bedded the whole action and barrel, taking a page from Malcolm, and it shoot good after that and still does. Did same with a Ruger 77 257 Roberts to no real benefit. That rifle would only shoot 1 bullet and load it seemed, 115 ballistic tip with 46g h4831 at 0.015 from the lands. Anything else wouldn't group very good. Didn't change after bedding the barrel and action, ended up trading it off for another 700 MTN rifle in 7mm-08 that shoots fine with factory bedding. depends on the rifle I guess but lightweight barrels may be best candidates for this treatment. I wouldn't think a short heavy barrel would need full bedding. [/QUOTE]
