Is there any bedding in the barrel channel yodave? Or is it free floated?

bedding under the action only, barrel is completely free floated from the forward edge of the action to the end of the stock.......
I wouldn't have thought that torque on the screws would have this much effect on accuracy of a rimfire...3 of us left the range with a new outlook on how much ammo we tested and maybe we just had to tune the rifle to the ammo......
 
SK standard at 100 yards, each bull is 1 inch pound different from the others.......3 wind flags showed no wind to worry about, both action screws torqued to the same number, 10 shot groups. that one very low shot on the best target just shows that if your not holding the same forward pressure on the rifle every shot the hit on the target will tell you lol.......42 inch pounds is where my anshutz wants to be

Excellent observation and I think you're the first to mention it. I have a perfect example of this from my shooting yesterday. Even though I was using a single shot adapter in the rifle the feeding wasn't perfect. The high flyer on the top bull got real jammed up trying to feed in. I then started to insert the round mostly into the chamber by gently pushing with a finger rather than laying it on the adapter and using the bolt to feed it in. The results showed some improvement.

tried something new for the first time in my life.......

torquing the action screws...

I never would have thought that even with bedding tightening the action screws 1 inch pound at a time made all the world of difference
shot 10 shot groups at 100 yards on a calm day, started at 15 inch pounds and went up 5 at a time all the way up to 45 inch pounds, 40 inch pounds was the best so then I went to 37 and worked up 1 at a time until I shot the small group, next group opened up so backed off the screws and reset the torque to my sweet spot and retested...yeap it's a winner group.....who would have thought that strong manning the action screws in willy nilly could lead to accuracy issues........
