Thread: bedding question

In my experience a bedding job can make a poor shooting rifle shoot a lot better, but it seldom makes an accurate rifle a lot more accurate

@gundoc cheers just what i was after. I even started to have a rush of blood to the head and was considering putting a piece of wood just in front of the rear action screw to give it a bit more support but i suppose the rear screw collar/pillar does that. @Hunter_Nick i have a 25-303 P14 that shot crap for the previous owner and amongst other things i have done to it, i found it does that-or is it the other way around?
Think if you let the rear screw go the barrel drops? Bloody sight more than 2 thou', more like millimeters so really doing it no favours
havent got around to fixing it and trying it out but i did get given 5 rounds to try it with when i do.

In addition to gundoc’s great advice, a very light draft angle on the sides and a few thou off the bottom will help with clearance and prevent chipping of the bedding when installing the action.
