[QUOTE="dmax1800, post: 1273690, member: 68255"] I know some of you guys are getting tired of hearing about this. I'm sorry for that, but this is about the only source of GOOD information from people who know what they are talking about. Please bear with me. I took a close look at the bedding on the HS precision stock and found 2 things. 1) The action just behind the recoil lug touches the aluminum bedding with 2 strips that run lengthwise with the barrel and about 1/8 inch wide. Not much contact, in my opinion. The rear tang (area around the rear action screw) does not contact the alum bedding. When I tighten the front action screw (as directed by HS Precision) and then tighten the rear screw, the barrel is pulled slightly away from the stock. I put 18 layers of alum foil (measures .018") on top of the tang bedding area, and the rear tang now contacts the area when the rear action screw is tightened and the tightening of the rear screw no longer moves the barrel away from the stock. I also cleaned the barrel. It only had 16 shots since the last thorough cleaning. My opinion is that the barrel is collecting WAY too much copper after only 16 rounds. Below is a picture of the patches for the cleaning. The process is: - 3 wet patches with Bore Tech carbon remover; - nylon brush with carbon remover; - 3 wet patches with carbon remover; - dry patch to dry barrel - 3 wet patches with Bore Tech copper remover; - nylon brush with copper remover; - repeat with copper remover on patches and nylon brush Do the pictures depict TOO much copper in the barrel after only 16 shots? Is rebarreling in the rifle's future? Would the rear tang not contacting the bedding area and putting some torque on the action when the rear action screw is tightened cause some rounds to "fly", especially when temps are colder? Or is the sum of a barrel that collects copper, action not very well bedded and 55 grain bullets that may be only marginally stabilizing adding up to some, but not all of the rounds being "fliers"? Many thanks, again. [ATTACH]69645.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
