Here is the situation gentlemen: Winchester Model 70 30-06 synthetic - The rifle is aluminum pillar bedded - steel bedded from 1-1/2" behind the recoil lug to 1" in front. - In front of the recoil lug bedding 3" of concrete filler/sealant (caulking on steroids) filling the void in the stock and contacting the barrel. Potential Result: The Conrete filler/sealer will provide a harmonic damper for the barrel. I will take it shooting this weekend once it is totally cured and give you the results. | ||

I hope that you shot it after the steel bed but before the concrete filler. So we could get a before/after result. Ray ...look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh. | |||

Concrete filler? NOTHING accurizes a rifle like a premium sub-flooring adhesive. A quick search would have revealed that. | |||

Well guys, it's been 3 days and the stuff still is not dry. This could be one of those "what not to do" experiments, but it's worth a shot, right?  | |||

Dammit, 10! You should know by reading my "Mixin' powders..." thread over in Reloading that any experimentation is strictly verboten by the old-timers and high-posters in these pages. You start that crazy experimentin' stuff, and you'll get what you ask for. Just warnin' you now-- before the carpet-bombing starts... | |||
