Is there any reason to bed a rifle that is shooting well enough?

[QUOTE="reloaderlen, post: 1662428, member: 36294"] IMO It comes down to the climate that I hunt in vs the climate I sighted it in. I purchased the same very rifle for my wife when they first came out with the lady hunter. Loaded a few different loads and she shot clover leafs with the loads. She had several months to practice and get familiar with the rifle . We have our own range here at the house and she could hit a 6” plate all day at 400 yards. She killed a couple deer early in the season then we had a hard freeze. Long story short she missed a real nice one . I took the Rifle and shot it myself and it was terribly off. Two days later it warmed up and it was back dead on. I bedded it with devcon and no problems since. I would take it and have it bedded If I didn’t feel comfortable doing it myself. It’s really not that hard. If it doesn’t turn out like you would like Then just grind out the bedding and do over. As long as you apply plenty of release agent . Memories are made and the ones that hurt are the ones that you can’t relive or those you ask yourself would it have turned out differently if I had only spent a few more dollars? [/QUOTE]
