MM, is that rifle full length bedded in the factory Ti stock?
No, it's not full length bedded, just bedded with a neutral pressure pad just back from the end of the forearm.
The gun was a mess when I first got it (new from the factory, one of the last ones produced) as there was a lot of clearance below the action, such that when the BA was set in the stock, the barrel rested on the tip of the fore-end & the tang rested on the stock.
As such, when the action was tightened down, there was an lot of excessive deflection of the barrel & stressing of the action. I don't think I've seen one quite as bad before or since.
So, I stress free bedded the action, with the barrel floated & shot it that way as well as with a neutral pressure pad & it shot considerably better with the pressure pad, so I added the neutral pad & it's been very good since.
I have a Rem 700 MR barrelled action in a Ti stock & bedded the same way & it shoots about as well also.
