[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 974975, member: 63138"] I usually float the barrel if it isn't, add pillars and bed the recoil lug. I recently put together a 26 Nosler based on a Sako L61R that was a 7mm Rem Mag. On that one I'm trying a new trick where you also put a couple of inches of bedding under the barrel. See how it groups with the load you want to use and then if the bullet holes are not touching, cut the bedding back 1/4 inch. Repeat until it groups. My nephew did this and hit pay dirt after the 2nd cut back. He has done this on two rifles. Mine is all set to go to the range tomorrow morning. This makes the most sense when you know what bullet you want to use and won't be changing it. In this case I'll be running 127 grain LRXs at 3,450 fps and I'm making the gun like that ammo instead of finding ammo that the gun likes. [/QUOTE]
