Pillar bed it using my method. Theres nothing you can do about the barrel except replace it. If the bullet enters the throat/bore straight and exits the muzzle/crown straight, life is good.

Re: What is the fix....
Bell and Carlson. The stock is brand new and I just received the barreld action in the mail today from Dave Tooley. barreled action is also brand new. 700 action with a Krieger barrel.. Could the recoil lug be too long? It is a Badger.

Take the Arizona Iced Tea shims out of the stock!!!
How did you get a Badger to fit into a Bell and Carlson? Did you dremmel it?

That'd be my first guess with the info you posted!

Re: What is the fix....
The width is fine but I think it is too long. Thus the rocking.

Re: What is the fix....
Use a hand mill (AKA Dremel) to make the inlett deeper.

Actually he could put shims in.......some 'smiths do I hear.
Is the BC stock the version with the aluminum bedding block? If so and you are not planning on bedding the stock, you could shorten the recoil lug. If not and you take the WECSOG hand mill to the recoil lug recess try to just remove bottom and front material. However, if you modify the bedding block I'd bed it anyway (I bed any stock, that's just me).

Re: What is the fix....
If your BC stock isn't the aluminunm chassis'd model I'd take wnroscoe's advice and pillar bed it.

Re: What is the fix....
I missed where you said you had a BO lug.
Glad you found the problem and fixed it.

That is a good looking stick! I plan on building a .223 next time. What are the specs on it and what bullet you plan on shooting?

Re: What is the fix....
Paid $1,000 for the barreled action in the beginning. Then I bought a new Krieger for $300 plus Dave Tooley's cost for the re barrel and trueing, $200 for the Jewell trigger, $175 for the stock. Sold the original Shilen barrel for $210.
Already had the scope , base and rings. Sent Dave some Black Hills 75 gr. match ammo for the chamber work.
Will get it to the range within a couple of weeks to see what it will do. There is no doubt it my mind that this rifle will shoot bug holes.
