[QUOTE="BLOODHOUND BRO, post: 1343902, member: 87963"] I know the new Ruger American Rifle isn't a long range rig by any means, but I won one at my local Mule Deer Foundation and figured I'd at least try and get it to shoot decent. Gun shoots about 1.5 MOA (after extensive load development, ±3 MOA with factor ammo) if allowed to cool completely after each shot. Any string creates major flyers. The stock is a piece of junk, so I ordered a Boyd's (only aftermarket stock i could find). I'm curious if anybody has done any bedding work on a Ruger with the "v blocks". I am thinking of just bedding the v blocks into the stock and calling it good, but wonder if it wouldn't be a better idea to bed the entire action to the stock. After bedding, I plan to enlarge the barrel channel to achieve a little more free float. I know it is a long shot, but if anybody has tinkered with this, I 'd love to see pics and hear about your learnings. Thanks, [/QUOTE]
