[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 117766, member: 2011"] From the single rifle I tried this on, twice. Original barrel: Sporterweight douglas premium, 24" Bedded the action/free floated the barrel: It shot well about 3/4MOA @ 100. Bedded the barrel all the way to the end: Again it shot about 3/4 MOA but shot it at a lower velocity. Free floated the last half of the barrel: Again it shot avout 3/4 MOA but at a higher velocity. Did the same thing when I had it rebarreled w/a 27" Lilja #4 contour. Got the same exact results except group size is .3 or .4 MOA range. Stayed with the first half of the barrel channel bedded. Mauser 98 Action - 270 Win. Conclusion: Messing with bedding of any part of the barrel is pretty much a waste of time except its fun to play with once just to see. [/QUOTE]
