[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 787675, member: 48043"] I've never rested a barrel on a bag-- who does that??:rolleyes: Usually it's the same guys at the range who can't hit the broad side of a barn at ten feet. The biggest reason this rifle was ****ing me off is I've got a lh bdl in 300 rum and it was outshooting the custom 7stw with just a rem barrel on the rum. As to the bedding job, I've pillared the action screw holes (the wood was soft and would compress letting the screws loosen up), and epoxy bedded the recoil lug and barrel channel. The crown is perfect on this one; someone built it as their custom rifle. They just didn't built it for the recoil that the 7stw generates. I'd actually prefer a laminate stock with a full length aluminum bedding block, but the bld stock will suffice for now. The barrel is rather thin on this rifle, hence why I did a full length bed on the barrel. [/QUOTE]
