I have a question about a synthetic stock. It is on a Weatherby Vangaurd. I have bedded a few wood stocked rifles so I'm familiar with the basics. My question I guess is more about the barrel channel. The rifle shoots pretty good, one inch with 2 groups of 2 touching usually about an inch apart and the one flyer opens the group up to 1.50,its theoccasional flyer that is bothering me. I noticed the barrel channel is pretty tight against the barrel almost the length of the forearm. If I remove some of the material will it effect the accuracy in a negative way? Could this be one of the reasons Weatherby's shoot so well? Does anyone have a Vangaurd they could look at and see if theirs is the same way?
