[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2262333, member: 11853"] Make sure you check the bases to make sure they are tight.A lot of stuff is made out of aluminum these days.You can tighten and the next day it's loose.I have used blue picture on aluminum stuff and it works good.When you get ready to remove it just heat it up first.A rifle barrel would have to be really bad to shoot four inch groups.I would eliminate problems with the mounts,scope,bedding first before I'd go any farther with the issues your having.Also is the stock touching the barrel? I recently had to full length bed a couple of rifles because the stocks were flexing behind the recoil lug in the mag box inlet.The barrels were free floated,but would flex in the mag box under recoil when fired.These rifles were shooting two inch groups.I folded paper and slid them under the barrel from the recoil lug all the way to the end of the forearm.My groups instantly were reduced to about a half inch.I full length bedded the barrel channel of the stock and they both shoot great.I contacted the warranty about this issue and they sent me a stock with an aluminum bedding block.The two stocks I full length bedded,did not have the aluminum block.They didn't have a stock replacement for the other rifle but the bedding fixed the issue anyway.
