[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1018612, member: 52437"] My mountain SS in it's current stock form is a consistant 1MOA shooter right now with one of my worked up loads. Maybe a bit better but I have not done enough testing. This rifle has a VERY thin barrel which I think is the accuracy culprit. I could be wrong as it is sitting on an aluminum bedding chassis and is not further bedded so it could be the bedding block that is the issue. I was contemplating trying to bed it myself but I am honestly a bit scared about doing it on my 1000$ remington for my first try at bedding. This brought me to going to a smith to have it bedded. The local smith charges 175 and I am not sure on his quality. I would hate to have it bedded only to find out it is still not a shooter then have to get it rebarreled and bedded again. If I was getting .75MOA more often than not then I would be happy. Again, I will shoot it a bit more before deciding this but it is looking like it is a 1 MOA rifle at best right now. [/QUOTE]
