Why would the barrel be bedded?

I guess the lesson in all this is ,,if you have a factory rifle that's shooting under MOA all day,,, leave it alone,,,

I think the true less on the day is that you should read the actual post before replying to the thread.

EXCEPT when the trigger is malfunctioning ! SAFETY Issue is why FOX had it to a Smith NOT Accuracy ! RJ

I think Melvin Forbes full length beds all the new ultra light arms rifles... for whatever that’s worth.

6 MOA is crazy inaccuracy. I can't believe it has anything to do with bedding. Especially when he never changed the previous full length bedding that shot well. I've had rifles with rotted out barrels that shoot more accurately than that. When I was much younger I hacked off the end of a barrel with a hacksaw, and despite putting bullets through the target sideways it was within 6 moa. If the crown was severely damaged, he would mention that. It's got to be a loose scope mount or broken scope. I can't see why we are even considering the bedding unless the issue was much more subtle or he was trying to improve on the previous moa level of accuracy.

Something has changed to affect the accuracy of the rifle, and it wasn't the bedding.
