I have a Mossberg M44 trainer, I am going to do some work on this winter. It will shoot into around 1.75 " at a hundred yards, as is. I will be building an Acrabond stock for it, and need tips on bedding for a .22 rifle. I know center fire quirks, but have not played with the .22 LR for accuracy before. I already have a Model 70 style trigger system underway for it, but would certainly welcome any suggestions on something already in production? The M70 type trigger will be simple to complete, but I don't need to be re-inventing the wheel. Thanks. Ric Carter Shooters Cast Bullet Alumnus Ric Carter | ||

I am starting something similar with a 513T, have noticed that floating its barrel doesn't help. I have done some glassing to fit the receiver and added a small pillar. Scope is on a modified Weaver mount, cut to fit the existing holes. I have made a dovetail buttplate for a hook and to add a sled for riding benchrest bags ( found a BR-50 club locally ). It was firelapped some years ago, seemed to help a small amount. Trigger is next, will be the hard part. TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right.

My experience has been that floating/bedding/foreend pressure and other techniques work with 22LR sporter barrels but don't seem to make a whole lot of difference with the heavy target barrels. There was a technique called "Electric Bedding" used years back in which a light dampening pressure was applied to the barrel at the stock foreend; it may have worked but it disappeared! My route would be to bed the action and free-float the barrel; if that doesn't help, I'd shim the foreend/barrel contact. Bud W | |||
