I finally got her to the range and she did around 1 1/2 inches with 168 grain Winchester silvertip. (Usually first and third shots are close with shot two a little farther out.) I also had a trade offer on a stainless Sako from my shop. I'm a sucker for Sako's but it'll cost me a couple of hundred dollars to do the trade.
So, if I bed the gun how should I get the gunsmith to do the barrel? NULA does partial bedding of the barrel channel. Mr Forbes should know what works best so should I copy his bedding style? Keep the pressure point? Or Free float?
