I believe it runs in the community. Some things border on voodoo or superstition, but some of the stuff really does seem to make a difference in accuracy. There's simply not enough time to sift through it all."Here" …..as in me, or "Here" as in this forum!memtb

Acraglass, Shoot & Grind, Grind & Shoot till you get what you are willing to stop grinding--this is certainly NOT the way I would go after consistency with a new rifle. With today's rifles, you don't need to do this.
But if I ever acquire another Model 70 and it doesn't group like I want it to...then back to bed, shoot and grind and shoot and grind.....til I get it to shoot.
In other words, bedding and playing the harmonics works with older guns, but it is a lot of trouble.
Nowadays, the easy button is to just buy a Sauer 100 with its own unique Ever-Rest bedding built into the stock and the barrel and go shoot Sub-MOA. And no, I don't work for Sauer. I just know a better thing when I see it.

Ok, I'm at a loss here...
Are you saying that Forbes put an E.R. Shaw barrel on your rifle when built?
Or was the rifle rebarreled?
Or....buy a tuner brake or slip on first....just me

I guess a tuner brake might make more sense if you are planning to hunt with it or add suppressor someday.
