[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 936951, member: 65338"] Then I would definitely bed the action and the first 1/2"-1" of the barrel with some Devon Steel Puddy and ream out the barrel channel to make it so nothing contacts the barrel. Then you'll know that the remaining accuracy factors are not the stock. Also make sure you torque your action screws correctly after the bedding is complete. I usually like to torque the front screw on a 700 to about 50 lbs and the rear screw about 25-30 lbs. With a good full action bedding job, y ou shouldn't need to torque any tighter. Bed with "headless" action screws to ensure the receiver is completely stress free during the process. You can get them at Brownell. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
