Stock questions and bedding plastic ones

[freediver111]

Try upping your torque. I use 45 in-lbs (plain 'ol M11 plastic sock) and see that others here use considerably more.

I also had to remove some plastic and add some heat to get the forend clear at the tip. After you reseated the action do you still have clearance around the barrel?

Barrel clearance never seemed to be affected. Still space between stock and barrel before and after stock removal each time.
Keep in mind it's a decent POI change, easily enough to warrant re-sighting in. First round was a flier, likely from the gun settling into the stock. After that I had a good group, but had to adjust 0.5 to 0.6 Mils to the left at 100. That's about 1.8" off. Not terrible, but a big deal when you're shooting 1,000 and have your dope set.
