[QUOTE="Far North Hunter, post: 1861912, member: 110640"] Really a interesting thread! Quite a while back a friend had a new Ruger M77 in 7mm Mag. it was a real mess when it came to grouping. I removed the pressure point and it was worse. Next I glass bedded the action with a floated bbl. no improvement. Then I took plastic shims and put 7lbs of forearm pressure. Got down to 1.25” at 100yds. Next, just for fun, I full length bedded the bbl with 7 lbs of weight hung from the front sling swivel. That was all it took!! I wish I had kept the targets for display. This hunting rifle would shoot .5 moa at 200 yds. Obviously not shot rapid fire [/QUOTE]
