I have taken some advice I received some time ago on this forum about having my Ruger Mk II glass bedded. It has improved the accuracy. The trigger was smoothed and stoned to a 3 1/2 pound pull. The rifle now shoots an honest 1 inch @ 100 yards. I'm still working on reloads, however.
The real question I have is this: The gunsmith convinced me to leave a "pressure point" in the stock about and inch or so from the end of the foreend. So, the barrel is free floated to near the end with this "pressure point." I'm not sure I like this and have no experience with this over simply free-floating the barrel completely. Now, the only way I can tell if improvement could be had is to sand out the "pressure point."
What is your experience with glass bedding and completely free floated barrels vs this idea of this pressure point near the end ? Any advice welcome.
Thanks! Fred
