I'm curious about Vanguard bedding being "sophisticate"...

If it was mine, I'd glass the action free float the barrel.

Yeah, i would also bed the rifle. Sounds like its sophisticatedly a piece of chit right now. When a rifle is glass bedded prooerly, it doesnt matter how many times you pull it from the stock, poi should not change. A properly bedded rifle isnt as finicky about action screw torque either. I wonder when people will ever get that? Thread after thread of why my rifle shoots like chit, and every time, said rifle isnt properly glass bedded or freefloated.. Id also make sure the new trigger isnt contacting the stock. Dremel out the stock a little if you have to, but be sure there is sufficient clearance. That could play havoc on group size..


+1 personally amazed that he didn't mention removing material for the timney. I have not had a vanguard yet that didn't need that and it can be a subtle removal of material, if not removed the trigger might have limited safety function. The factory bedding job(LOL) would be another source of non repeatable accuracy. I had a SUBMOA that had no release agent put on the front screw.
