[QUOTE="7MMMagnum, post: 2631174, member: 39395"] I have told this story before. Grandson purchased a Christensen arms Mesa 6.5 Creedmoor. Would not group better than 2” with anything we put in it and was very inconsistent. Sent it back to Christensen and they sent it back to us with a target with a one inch group. Anyway, I decided forget the warranty and took the rifle apart. The bedding job was a little dab of epoxy around the recoil lug. I took a hold of the barreled action and it rocked badly in the stock. Easily found the high spot. The recoil lug recess was not cut deep enough for the recoil lug, I removed stock material under the lug and removed their dab of epoxy, then bedded the entire action plus 1 1/2” of barrel channel. Low and behold the thing now shoots 1/2 or better MOA. Very impressive for a factory rifle Just had to work out the bugs. [/QUOTE]
