I finally snapped last night at 10:30 and decided I was gonna bed my 700 vs swift. After 3.5 hrs. and the near catastrophic event of jb weld getting into the lug area through the front action screw hole, I had it done. I decided to look into the chamber just before cleaning up and thank God I did and saw the disaster unfolding. After 4 hrs of sleep the jb had been on for 6 hours and was set up. She popped right apart and after 3 hrs. of detailing it was test time. I had cleaned the bore last time so I figured it need fouled to be at it best so I shot 2 groups. The first 5 land 4 at .5" but the 2nd one slipped out to a little under an inch. The next 5 were all crammed in one ragged little hole. Needless to say I now belive in bedding a rifle. This was all with factory v max ammo too.

It turned out as good as I could ask for but next time I will be using studs in the action bolt holes instead of the screws.
