Thanks for the compliment varmintsinc. I shot the rifle before bedding and have not shot it after. When I get home from work it is almost dark!! I'll try it out this friday. I'm thinking it will shoot better now and be a little more consistant. Although it was shooting an average of 1 1/2" groups, it wasn't good enough for me. I've got 3 30-06's that I've bedded and they are all 3/4 moa consistant shooters. I've always heard the 308 is more inherently accurate than the o6, so I'm hoping to be impressed by the range session this friday. BSA.
