Anyway, later the neighbor found tire tracks going from inside their lawn, or over the side walk, and over a 4' tall pile of concrete chunks where they left a factory fog light and housing from a plastic bumper. The painter's truck had a ladder rack that wouldn't have fit under the low porch.

No matter how it happened, it's still going to cost me whatever time and money it takes to fix it.

No insurance to get it fixed?

I can fix it myself for less than the deductible (even paying a buddy to do the framing faster than I could). Filing a claim would be unwise for something like this.

I'll have to get a better photo, with less cluttered background, later. That's a Savage 110 Ultralight in 6.5 Creedmoor with my OSS Helix 7.62 QD can attached. In the pictured configuration I weighed it right at 9 lbs. On the way to the store to look at possible bi-pod options. The can really makes it front heavy and long, which I expected. Hopefully it's not too cumbersome to carry once I get a sling on it.

Very nice.

The stock is pretty flexible, so I'm not sure how a bi-pod will affect the accuracy. Honestly, I don't think I'm good enough with a rifle to tell the difference. I'm sighting it in tomorrow.

Even if it is free floating, some stock does touch important areas upon firing. As long as stock is not touching the barrel while projectile is moving. Also both area which are screwed cannot be flexing. Reaction of the force is flexing the stock enough to change, move inconsistently can be bad.

Many good stocks/chassis do not need some kinda new bedding. Last time I've heard the word re-bedding was around 2007.

Btw. Those Remington 700 aac SD hogue stocks are one of the stock which does things above.

(From my limited knowledge)

I can press the stock into the barrel with a finger, so it's pretty flexible.

Well for hunting, it is not bad. As for Precision, chassis or redneck engineering may be needed.

I had savage 110 .243 with factory flemsy syn stock. Top 2 grouping per range visit was about 1 moa (not avg grouping).
Scope was cheap $40 bushnell 3-9x.
I had a lot of fun shooting that thing.

I don't know if you already have something, and they're a little pricey for what they are, but I enjoyed using this sling on my silenced Rem 700 .308Win last year after a couple not so great "slippers."
