[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 650439, member: 13833"] I've owned a lot of 700's and most shoot well. The pressure on the fore end, IMO, is a bandaid that often works to cure poor factory bedding. Most shelf rifles of course are mass produced and are simply machine cut or molded. A good bedding job will usually eliminate the need for barrel pressure, and in fact is superior. If the rifle already shoots well enough to suit you, leave it alone. I personally bed all of mine and float the barrel. You also want to make SURE that you have no side pressure on the barrel either. I have had few 700's that will not shoot moa when doing this.........Rich [/QUOTE]
