[QUOTE="Deadeye Fraser, post: 422714, member: 26261"] Thanks for the thorough response. Part of why I'm asking the question is that I'm debating whether I might replace the rifle or not. It shoots quite accurately. The group I shot yesterday that landed two inches lower than expected was 1.75" for five shots but 4 shots landed in a group of 0.81" The rifle being pressure bedded and having a two piece stock (Ruger #1B) is likely always going to show this habit is my guess. My other consideration is to use a donor 700 action I have a on hand and a stainless custom barrel (also on hand) and bed it into a Bell and Carlson Medallist or something like it with an aluminum bedding block. This would hopefully produce the same POI with or without the bipod or sling. Having said that, I'd hate to spend the time and money on this project and not have something better than what I'm already using and enjoying. [/QUOTE]
