[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2359442, member: 313"] I owned a Weatherby Mark V in 7WBY that really didn't shoot as good as it should have. I had a well-known gunsmith bed the action and free float the barrel, thinking that this would resolve the accuracy issues. The rifle shot worse. :oops: Eventually, I sent the rifle back to Weatherby for review. They told me that floating the barrel was NOT their method of achieving accuracy in their rifles. They said the original stock could not be salvaged. I had to buy a new Mark V stock and pay Weatherby to set it up again. It was a very costly proposition. I sold the rifle after its return. [/QUOTE]
