RE: Full length bedding a whippy barrel?
It may, or it may not. I had a 700 stainless first. I had to shoot it 2 shots, and let it cool for 10 min. No more no less. This gun actually shoot real well for its size but rough barrel. Copper fouling was horrible. I then thought i had to have this heavy barreled tactical PSS. Well, I had to sell the other one to get it. Big mistake, this gun was used and barrel burnt out. I had it rebarreled, and rebuilt. Still very heavy gun. The heavy barrel takes out some of the pickiness.
What made the first gun a shooter was, I had it pillar bedded and a target crown put on. I also got a limb saver recoil pad. But it was free floated too.
