Did it help. I just noticed while giving mine a good cleaning that it was loose in the stock. Pulled it out of the stock and found that the front block that forward action screws into was loose on the barrel. Tightened the screws down but I then noticed that there is a lot of wiggle room in the stock. I would think you could bed that front block and use it like a recoil lug. Just wondering if any one had done this.

I bought a TC Omega and thought about bedding until I shot it. It shoots so well that I ain't gonna fix what ain't broke. It's the only rifle I have that I haven't done something to.

It consistently shoots 1" plus or minus at a 100 yards.

With the action screws nice and tight, how well is your Omega shooting?

It shoots good enough but as much play that is in the bedding even with action screws being tight i would think that it would improve it.

7M,
try using some plastic or aluminum shims to float the barrel. I have used plastic from 2 liter coke bottles to eliminate the "slop" just as you described.
