[QUOTE="flyguy1, post: 2339209, member: 92595"] There are folks here much more knowledgable than I, but I will weigh in on my Model 70 experience. I had a Model 70 Super Grade late 80s that I glass bedded, tried with multiple factory/handloads, and it never would shoot. Turns out the barrel was ever so slightly misaligned with the action. I actually spent very little more on blueprinting/new barrel (Lilja, back when the old man ran the company) than I did with all the other messing around I did if you count my time spent and frustration(I had a gunsmith do the glass bedding). With the price of ammo/components now that would be even more true. Also, factory barrels (not talking semi-customs like Seekins, Cooper, etc.) can be a crap shoot. So if you're sure the scope is good (tried and true on another rifle), maybe have someone look at it IF you can find a good smith in CA. [/QUOTE]
