[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1766033, member: 30671"] I've lost count of the rifles I've made a bench side correction in bedding with a folded target under the barrel at the fore end. One friend hunted, and shot several years with that folded paper in place. When I'm feeling more "scientific", layers of electrical tape can be placed one at a time. Generally you will see groups tighten, and the open again when the sweet spot is passed. I "THINK" for purpose of discussion any way we have to distinguish between harmonics, and the flex and whip of light barrels, magnum calibers, muzzle breaks, in stocks not up to the combination. Sometimes issues are all in the stock. I bought a Ruger No.1, .30-06, light sporter, for a donor. Tinkered with it for education purposes, and it never shot groups. Wouldn't hold point of aim etc. Sent it off for a new synthetic, free floated, pillar bedded front and rear. Shoots so good I'm having a tough time going with rebarrel. [/QUOTE]
