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

[QUOTE="chirodr1, post: 1666421, member: 92591"] I have to go with the "If it ain't broke don't fix it crowd". My son built me a 6.5 Creedmoor barreled action for Father's Day 3 years ago. It is based on a Remington short action and I did not have a good stock for it. I was going to put a McMillan on it but delivery was 4 or 5 months out and I could not wait to shoot it. I put it in a synthetic varmint stock I had laying around. No bedding, and no pillars. The rifle shot in the .4's and .5's. with Hornady 140 Eld-m's and 143 Eld-x's. Then the 147's became available and it shot even better, and now regularly shoots in the .2's and occassionally in the .1's. Best group so far was a 200 yard 3 shot group of .094". I have the McMillan stock but I doubt I will ever use it for this rifle. [/QUOTE]
