My experience has shown that most guns will reduce group size by about 25-50% with a tuned handload. With that knowledge I'll usually do my assessment work using factory ammo. This will give you a solid base line to work from. Work on one thing at a time. |

I'm going to assume one of the first things you did was clean the barrel........making sure there's no copper fouling !!! |

The first one I want to (bed) is a Savage in .308 win. The factory synthetic stock already has the pillars installed, so it should be fairly easy. |

I live on Long Island, a little town on the south shore, but I do most of my hunting upstate in Middleburgh, Schoharie county. It's a beautiful area, I'm going up this weekend to look at a piece of property that butts up to my In-laws, I'll take some pictures. |

I have no experience doing synthetic stock that are plastic based. I've done fiberglass but no plastic. I've heard there are some unique procedures to get the bedding to stick to the stock. If you already have pillars, I'm not sure you will gain much by bedding the plastic stock. Is it shooting ok? If so, may be best to leave well enough alone. My Tikka has a very hard plastic stock with no pillars but it doesn't flex or compress noticable. It shoots great so I've left it alone. Pillars and glass be on the laminate would be easier to do and would most likely benefit from pillars. |

No doubt Remington has created some self deserving criticism over the years !!! That vintage (I'm guessing 70's) should be one of the better ones. My point was that by having a proper re-barreling and having the action trued in the process by a premium barrel marker you'll end up with a rifle that's going to be hard to beat. |
