All that I have had (5) have been accurate save one. It had an extremely long throat and was chambered for a 7x57. That being said all are free floated, bedded properly with lugs lapped. No blue printing, etc. Matter of fact, I bought a .270 WSM take-off barrel and stock to go with it from a board member, had it fitted and it shoots 130 gr TSX's under 1" when I do my part.

I bed my own from tang through the action and approximately 2- 1/2" in front of the receiver ring, rest is free floated. Floorplate and guard are bedded as well to ensure everything being nice and straight. If you bed your own, I would recommend doing it in three stages. Bed the lug area and attach the rear action screw with the guard in place (if two piece), if one use the entire assembly-barely tighten the rear screw, just so it makes contact with the tang. Make sure the stock is level in a vise and the action is level as well after seating. Come back and do the rest of the action and tang, then the floor plate, except this time snug up the front screw and don't even use the rear at all (until you are done of course <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />). Tighten the front and rear screws like any other rifle and if you have a middle one, tighten just enough so the floorplate closes.

Hope it helps.
