I have a question. I had a huge gap between my forarm and barrel. So much you could squeeze the front of the barrel and the reciever would come up. I had it bedded and glass'd. Wonder if yours is the same.
Well I don't think it's a huge gap, but if I squeeze the forestock and barrel together the whole barrel lifts at the bolt. But since everything, including the scope, lifts together, I assume it's part of the design. In other words, the scope still stays aligned with the barrel. Answer your question?
