    I've not read how a Ross is supposed to be bedded for accuracy. Does it need upward pressure at the nose cap like Enfields or something else? I console myself that I'm unlikely to have made it worse than it was as a sporter, but truthfully I don't know.

    Don't know about that either. I've never had a really nice one to see. Last one I had was a sporter while I was posted to Wainwright back mid '80s. I shot it for a while and then sold it, then it went through everyone else there.
