Good luck to you.

 

Out of curiosity what calibre 452 and WHY?

 

It's a rimfire for sure, and I suspect a field tool, do you have a problem or do you think this will make a noticeable difference to an already brilliant field rifle?

 

ATB!

hi Decker

its a 17hmr american mate only reason for doing it is there is some movement in the receiver and making the barrel touch the stock, that does not help with accuracy. just looking at it now the back of the receiver is sitting high and this is making it tilt forward

There are different stock fittings on different calibres, and different types of stock on the 452,

 

The HMR and WMR American are generally similar to the best of my knowledge.

 

My 452 WMR American stock was not the best fit and often ended up touching the barrel at the fore end.

 

These are quite easy to adjust with a little fettling, in my case I actually had to add a little wood back at the front of the action (completely invisible externally), the barrel is now dead straight in the stock, the gap totally even and the barrel FREE FLOATING.

 

A heck of a lot quicker/cheaper and easier to adjust than bedding!

 

Just a thought, that took 5 minutes and £0.00p.

hi Decker yeah looking at it now will give it a little sanding to see if i can get it sitting flatter. cheers

[slipper 116]

I was told to wrap some sandpaper around a wooden dowel or broom handle etc and sand it a bit at a time untill it stops touching

Think my hmr which was a 452 was touching one side but had a nice gap on the other

Good luck, and be very careful if you are taking wood away!

 

In my case (brand new gun) it seemed the stock had actually been originally machined a little deep near the lower cross fitting at the front of the action, I added a little angled wood in the bottom slot and job solved brilliantly. Very easy in my case, no sanding of anything.

All I did with mine is cut a plastic bottle up to make pads the fore and aft receiver bolts pass through.

It lifted my barrel out the stock just enough but wow what a transformation, shoots any ammo now!

 

Bedding, I love crisp white sheets and proper feather down pillows, hmmm, zzzzzz

[airbourne 128]

found the problem the receiver is to low at the front so when you put the front screw in it is not tightening up, it should be level with the stock but is lower by 2mm

[Underdog 2,337]

If I think what you mean just shim it as I did.

Mine had a high spot between the front and rear screws.

The shims allowed the action to clear it, no whittling needed at all :-).

As I mentioned, I had to add a bit back as well, always concerns me when you have to start taking wood away, with a little thought that can be avoided "sometimes".
