[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1533074, member: 10755"] If all screws check out tight and ok, then I would look at bedding. You can ‘smoke’ the action with a candle and check contact points/voids and decide from there whether bedding is necessary. A barrel that is not stress relieved correctly will ‘walk’ shots as it warms, bedding and Knox form bedding can help this, as can a pressure point in the forearm of the stock. I skim bed aluminium bedding blocks just to be safe, it never hurts and always makes the action more stable in the stock. I find the recoil lug recess on most stocks looser than I like, so I address this first. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
