[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 112727, member: 10"] Unfortunately with a stock like that, I have found at times that if you put a shim in the forend most times it only displaces the forend and does not apply much pressure to the actual barrel. Barrel is stiffer then the forend. You can certainly try this though and see what happens, worth a try. One thing that has worked pretty well for me on these extremely light weight stocks if to bed the entire length of the barrel so there is 100% contact with the barrel. Just seems to stabilize things better. Something else to look at is the crown, did it happen to get nicked while working on the stock? This will always spoil fine accuracy. The main reason I do not care for a forend shim is that with light barrels, barrel heat effects them much more then heavier barrels. As such, as they heat up they are often influenced more by this pressure on the forend. Still, if it shot well before, the goal is to get it back to its original set up or something similiar as far as barrel vibration. You may want to try a ladder test and see what happens with the rifle. May just need a bit of load tweaking. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
