[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 1679982, member: 110518"] I'll try and reply to a couple of these posts (and thanks for your input). First off I never had a chance to look at the rifling before purchase but I really wasn't worried about that. There are very few rifles that have their barrels shot out except for those diehard shooters that shoot a couple hundred rounds every week. This barrel is no exception. Whoever had the rifle before me kept it squeaky clean. A couple minor dings in the stock which is to be expected. Secondly as I was sanding I noticed a fairly sharp ridge running down the length of the barrel channel which I thought was very odd. If you're going to bed a barrel channel you want uniform pressure on the barrel throughout the bedding. Thirdly, regarding the piece of felt near the end of the forearm. Remington used to, don't know if they still do, leave a small square of wood in the barrel channel near the forearm tip. That was the first thing I removed whenever I got a 700. I could never understand why they left that there in the first place other than making it a point for barrel pressure. I'm fairly confident that removing this bedding back down to the chamber will result in better accuracy and eliminate the horizontal stringing of my shots. [/QUOTE]
