Your right, it probaly shouldnt need that. It is already full lenght bedded.
Yeah Firstcoues, it's either full length bedded or free floated, but not both. I don't think everybody's givin' ya a hard time, although there are always a couple. I think you might feel better about your "custom" if you didn't have to have the resonator on it.
I'd strongly suggest that you give a try to taking the barreled action outa the stock and putting a shim about 1 1/2 in. from the end of the forend outa cardboard or rubber, just thick enough to put a little pressure on the barrel when you put it back in the stock. Try shootin' it that way and see if it helps. You might have to move the shim to a diff. position or two in the barrel channel but I'll bet that will help settle those groups in. This is just a temporary test to see if a pressure point would help. If it does, then you can add a permanent pressure point yourself or had a smith do it. If it doesn't you can keep usin' the resonator.
Good luck with it whatever ya do, and nice coues by the way.
