Sweet, are you going to pillar bed that stock?

I have never actually pillar bedded one before. I think it would be wise but I've got some more research to do on how to do it

Drill it out with a drill press. Insert pillar with glue, put wax paper on both sides so glue doesn't get everywhere, bolt the action and bottom metal on so the pillars harden in the right place. There are other fine details, but that's the lion's share of it.

Based on that one group, I think bedding will help.

I did bed it, but then again that group was when I was shooting standing up off the hood of a pickup with Corelokts. So I'm going to take the time to do a good range day soon.

Aaahhh...the vertical string in the group is caused by the rifle bouncing on the hard hood of the truck. Let's see some groups with the rifle rested properly on a bench.
