Glad its performing better. I'd still have it bedded, make sure the stock touch is removed and if need be while at the smiths have him touch up your trigger too. No need for a hair trigger but 3lbs ish seems to work for a lot of big game hunter rifles.

I agree you have to shoot it or know it better then a 270 though don't over do it either. I like to take a low recoiler when going with a stouter recoil rifle, this gives me a break and time to cool between groups.

Good Luck.
