I have been following this thread since the beginning, I haven't commented because I haven't had anything to add but it has been very informative and a learning experience, thanks.

I think this thread needs to be closed, there are no more fliers so the issue was resolved when I changed barrels.

Question, before you close this thread did Jim at NSS true up your bolt face?

I have had this problem before. My gunsmith James Hoag immediately identified the problem and fixed it. If the bolt face is trued all fliers go away (all other issues aside).

No, he didn't, its on my to do list with bushing firing pin hole, as well as changing trigger to custom one, but I still have to decide which one, now its deer season right around the corner and I'm trying to get my 260 straighten up. I did order 260 Rem barrel from Jim as well, now it seats on 111 action with Sav-1 trigger.

I would start a new topic but I ran into this old thread and it brought up its own question for me concerning something that I've wondered about for a while. The original poster said that he ended up pulling one of the bedding bolts and just using two in a attempt to improve his groups and from the sounds of it it seemed to help, of course he eventually re-barreled and solved his problem. My question is I've head that the extra bolt is used for tuning and that their is no set torque spec for it, from what I uderstand your supposed to torque you first two bolts and then play with the third untill you achieve acceptable groups Im just wondering if this is true, It seemed like a novel idea and has me thinking about buying a savage long range precision rifle with the target action and selling or handing down my older model 12. Is this true and if so does anybody have anything to say about the effectivness of using it to tune the rifle??

FWIW you might try something under the bipod. I have two rifles, a Cooper and a Tikka Master Sporter I shoot off the bench with a bipod and both of them shoot noticeably better with a piece of short-nap carpet between the bipod and the bench.

Old thread, I saw it on 6mmbr
Yes, the carpet helps most rifle I believe, avoids the bounce.
Concerning the barrel, this motivates me to try the Remage on my 270 M700, likely to 6.5x284.

I always use carpet under my bipods when I shoot on the bench.
