Thank you all for the answers to my questions. But I have a few more.
1-The Ruger Scout rifle has aluminum pillars that bed the two (2) action screws in order to improve accuracy. Do any of you have experience taking the rifle apart and when put back together does it return to field rifle zero? By that I mean coming within an inch or so from the original point of aim.
2-The Steyr Mannlicher rifle of the early 20th century could be purchased in a takedown model. This was done by pushing a pin in the stock and then lifting the barrel with the action to shorten the overall length. The stock had a steel block at the wrist that the action mated to. Do you think this system equal or superior to taking down a rifle with either bedding pillars or an aluminum block, in terms of returning to zero?
In other words repeatability of accuracy after repeated takedown and reassembly.
Thanks again.
