i just bought a marlin modle 25 mn wood stock.....and i am making tack driving converions to it...get this...and this can be done to any rifle...first take the gun apart and have the barrel stressed relived...( thats having it cryogenically froze at -400 degrees for three days and that straightens the barrel to its most sraightness) then i drilled two 3/4 inch holes in the butt of the stock 3 inches deep...and inserted two solid steel bars 3 inches long in the holes....this here took alot of recoil out of the mag and then finally have the barrel free floating.....and with a $50 bushnell scope im hitting pop bottle caps at 100 yards ....no problem....next im going to try hitting a tack....lol...if any more tips on making guns shoot straighter let me know....

Awesome dude !!! Are you sure the cryo straightens the barrel? I was under the impression it stress- relieves the barrel...
Not sure I'd subject a complete barrelled receiver to cryo, as you run the risk of cracking or shattering the receiver. (The metal becomes brittle and cant handle the joining/thermal stresses.)
FWIW - Bedding the rifle offers the best bang for the buck.
