I'm sure you are glad you kept it now, and you got it where you want it.  That is some great shooting!!

I wish Clearfield was closer, its a 4 hour drive at least.

That is a pretty nice grouping there Mat!  Glad she worked out for you!  I ended up buying a 12BTV savage 223 she should arrive this Friday.  Sorry to hear that the Seirra bullets didn't work for you after the bed job.  Exactly which Seirras were you using?  I have an assortment of Seirras and Hornadys shipping to me now.  4 different weights 50,55,63,70 and a couple different bullet styles.  I hope I didn't waste money buying bad shooters.  I guess I'll just have to wait and see.  The 12BTV should be the same action and barrel in a boyds natural finish lamy thumb hole stock.  2 reasons I went this way. 1st trigger adjustment.  I didn't want to have to pull the action out of the bed to adjust and second I really don't care for the gray lamy if it has any yellow in it and a lot of them do.
 
Again, congrats...you have a shooter!     BTW how much did it cost you to get yours bedded?
 
hello
the seirra I was shooting was the 69 grain HPBT match bullets # 1380. These bullets shoot good but after bedding I could not get any good groups at all. this could be just becaue the change in weather  or a dozen other rason but I did try diffrent things to get them to work and came up with nothing good. I then went with the V-max .
 
 I don't think you wasted your money you can always use bullets.
 
I bed my own rifles because I get  cense of accomplishment and I just don't trust anybody so I do it myself.    This is the 2nd rifle I did the first was a 12bvss that I still have and its shoots very good also.
I got acraglas from brownnells for 20 bucks and after two rifles I still have some left.
 
good luck
 
matt
