I have a 700 p with a really deep throat, I still get half inch groups a 100 yards. Whould it be worth it to have the action trued and the chamber set back? Any input is appreciated. Thanks Ray

I have the same rifle with the same deep throat, and mine started out shooting the same as yours. Accuracy has dropped off on mine so I intend to bed the stock. I don't think the throat has anything to do with it. Leave it alone and shoot it.
