shrek Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 A mate of mine has just bought a remington 710, its obviosly not the same quality of the 700 just by looking at it, me and ratwhiskers had it on the range and it didnt want to group very well, BUT the barrel is rubbing up agains the plastic stock, so im wondering if any of you guys can tell me whether its meant to be a bedded barrel or free floating, as it may need abit of "adjustment" to get it to shoot better anyway. Mite just pull the action out the stock the next time i see him and have a look, maby go and knock some fenceposts in with the action while im at it!

Ratwhiskers Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Shrekles me little mate, I said at the time wot adjustment it needed.

shrek Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 He got his first buck with it on saturday evenin which he was very happy about, we dont all need rifles that can shoot very small hols at silly ranges, if everyone had them there wouldnt be any at long range left to shoot! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratwhiskers Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Good on that man, but a 710 We'll have to get him out and entertain/educate him to the finer points of fun some time soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hardly matters. The thing about bedding is that is should be consistent. I have rifles that are fully bedded that shoot great. I have free floated rifles that shoot great. It's when you have something that isn't quite one or the other that gives you problems. Free float it first, then add bedding as accuracy warrants. (Much easier to put epoxy in then to take it out, eh?) ~Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
