[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 936861, member: 65338"] The thing is that low recoil rifles don't really need perfect bedding to shoot well. I also believe more load testing with a wider array of components and powders is needed before coming to conclusions about the rifle's accuracy capabilities. As for the elimination of stock possibilities...Below is a good method to tell if your stock is fitting well; Completely loosen the action screws in the front and back, then grab the rifle by the barrel with one hand and hold the stock with the other. Try to push and pull the barreled action in/out with a motion that is parallel to the barrel channel while making sure the action stays seated down in the stock all the way. If there is any play, I would definitely recommend bedding the stock. If it is tight with the barrel free floating in the channel, then you probably have other issues that are more significant to the accuracy problems. If the barrel is not free floating, it needs to be. I think this is all worth the effort of checking out because I have had rifles with cheap factory synthetic stocks shoot every bit as good as my custom rifles with full carbon/fiberglass aluminum skeleton stocks.
