I bought a new 1B in .22-250 in 1972. It was at best a 1. 1/2 to 2 inch rifle....and that was on a good day. No amount of load tweeking and fiddling with the bedding had much effect. It went down the road after a few years. Had nice wood though.

You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
