[QUOTE="358 Guy, post: 1856904, member: 60067"] I have an early Model 7 Remington in 223 that just gave me fits as to accuracy. I started by pillar bedding the action and free-floating the barrel along with cutting an 11 deg. crown. The results were pretty grim. ( could barely keep 3 shots in 3" ) Years ago we used to bed almost all rifles full length. This worked okay if you had a good piece of straight grained wood. Out of pure desperation, I full length bedded the little Model 7's stock, and the results were nothing short of amazing. This little gun now groups in the .7 to 1.0 range for 5 shots. Some guns break all the rules. [/QUOTE]
