[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 532141, member: 30902"] Floating removes any points of contact between the barrel and stock. Any points of contact along the length of the barrel affect it's harmonics and with heating due to repeated shots can push the barrel away from that contact point significantly affecting accuracy to the negative. Bedding provides a solid bond all around the action that prevents the action from wrenching around inside the stock each time you shoot which too can seriously have a negative effect on accuracy. Be carefuly shopping in pawn shops unless you're good friends with the owners. Sometimes you can get really good deals there but that's also where a lot of junk guns end up that you wouldn't want to sell to a friend. If you do buy one through a Pawn shop do what you can to make the deal predicated on the gun passing inspection with your gun smith before finalizing. [/QUOTE]
