I have a sporterized Springfield that WAS issued in WWII. Don't really care what kind of collector value it has cause there was no matching serial number stock for it. Now at 200 yards (not meters) I have groups of about 5 to 6 inches. The stock is apparently a cheap drop in stock, plastic buttplate but is made of wood and can be bedded and floated and what not. I have a Burris Ballistiplex 3x-9x40 (I think 40) scope on it. Scope plex at 200 yrds is grouping right around where it should, all I need is to tighten the group up. Sure 6 inches is MOD (minute of deer) but I would like to be confident at 300 or 400 yards with it since I have plexes that mark out to 400 yards when sighted to 100. Any ideas on how to fix her up to spec? Is aluminum pillar bedding faster than glass bedding or is it worth it to perform the glass bed if done correctly?
I have a friend who will help me with this endeavor so any pointers from you pros would be utterly awesome.
