[QUOTE="coop2564, post: 1901207, member: 87214"] I have a No.1 standard in 30-06. I had to tinker a lot with it. My fix was I bedded everything from hanger screw back to receiver and floated barrel to end of forearm. With forearm touching barrel it would group well one day and bad the next depending on weather and groups would shift. Now its consistent. I do not have the gun setup for long range shoot per say, but have a ballistic recticle scope and have tested it to 500yds it holds 1moa or better. My experience has shown a wood stock or fore end touching a barrel will never give you consistent grouping for true long range shooting/hunting due to changing weather conditions changing your group impact. Even the metal screw tuners are in the wood, while you definitely can tune it for that days weather to shoot great tomorrow is often a group shift. Bed and float the fore end and you might get it to work for you. But man they are beauties and for 300yds and closer deadly out of box. But take some work to stretch out farther. [/QUOTE]
