So you say you know guys who shoot with fully bedded barrels...
"There are still folks who believe otherwise and partially or full contact bed their barrels, but I don't know of any whose rifles shoot no worse than 1/4 MOA through 200 yards like totally free floating barrels can produce"
(wouldn't 1/4 moa at 200 yards prove it worked?)
Yet:
"A lot of 'smiths think it's needed to support the barrel relieving the barrel's hard pressure against the receiver at the bottom. Folks in the above paragraph don't think that's an issue; their results prove them right."
(again, 1/4 MOA at 200 yards isn't result enough to prove right?)
And:
"Well, it proves what does and does not work in making rifles shoot repeatably to the same point on target."
Which makes this:
"Grind it out is my suggestion."
A very interesting suggestion on a rifle you've never seen, shot, or even know how it groups or know why it was bedded that way...Even though you say you've seen rifles with bedded barrels shoot no worse than 1/4 MOA...
Some rifles come with pressure point(s) along the forearm to improve accuracy of a given barrel. Some stocks can't support the weight of the barrel and flex so the stocks are bedded to help support the weight.
