L42a1 sniper from no4mk1 "t"..stock

I know that standard military bedding is the best blah, blah, but you should give the rifle a go, plenty of target .303's have been set up with floating military profile barrels and do okay. Also for what it's worth, I set up a No5 a couple of years ago with upward pressure at the centre band and it was an absolutely dynamite shooter, as is my no4mk2 in full wood, centre bedded, so I'd absolutely advise giving the centre bedding/ tip of cut down forend bedding trick a run if it's not up to scratch with the barrel floated.
