[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 1672441, member: 109136"] Years ago, I had a prominent gun smith here in SO Cal bed a Sako L579 243 varmint rifle for me. He used Micro Bed, yuck. It shot terrible afterwards, each shot would move up left in a string? Pulled it apart, he had bedded under the shank and laid the rifle on its side to cure. The bedding under the shank ran to one side, you guessed it, right side. It literally had a 3" void area. You couldn't see it while the barrel was in the stock, just enough bedding material remained along the barrel on the left side to hide it. I took it back to him, he tried to tell me it would not affect the accuracy.... Yeah right. Came home, pulled out a Dremel and removed all the bedding under the Shank. Amazing, the rifle started shooting again..... wonder why. That's when I decided to learn how to bed rifles on my own. Found an article from Bob Pease about pillar bedding, first couple were not great. But after learning his system, they come out great every time. [/QUOTE]
