[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1719404, member: 879"] Edd, The Acraglass bedding was almost full length of the stock. My gunsmith advised this procedure: Shoot and grind some of the Acraglass off until you get the groups you want, then stop grinding. I stopped removing the Acraglass when I got 0.72" group at 200 yards. And I've been getting them ever since then. Farthest deer I've killed with it was 334 yards. Not really long range at all, but about as far as you ever get to see a deer in South Arkansas where I hunt. The 70 Featherweight is a relatively light sporter and not a long range rig at all, so I am getting all I can out of this rifle. Now I haven't been able to duplicate this success with any other light sporter weight rifle, so I think you have to start out with a good shooter to begin with. It is just trial and error and sometimes you get lucky. For a real long range rifle, you need to start with a bit heavier barrel I think. [/QUOTE]
