Re: Bedding Picatinny rail on TRG-22

To me the principle behind a sniperrifle is pretty simple.
The single most important feature of such a rifle is accuracy and precision. Accuracy so it hits at the same expected place everytime, and precision so it has the ability to send all the bullets there.
The best way of maintaining this feature is to NOT detach scopes, barrels and other things on the gun. The second best principle is to make everything as simple as possible, adding unncesssary parts like picatinny rails that not are needed are not a way of improving the rifles ability to deliver the bullets where you want them, each time.
So to add this "flexibility" the feature to switch scopes easy betwen guns, are maybe a nice feature, but it's also degrading the rifle from a true trusty sniperrifle to something that is cool, looks great and says bang each time.....but is lacking the most important feature for a sniperrifle to deliver the bullets to where the owner wants each time.

Amen! This is a point many shooters forget/ignore when building their "Uber-rifle". You're dealing with extreme physics in action. Little seemingly cosmetic changes might have significant repercussions when dealing with 65K psi chemical reactions and milli-second time lapse movements.
