Default Bedding A Weatherby Vanguaurd,What A Difference

I have a friend with a 25-06 S1 with cheap plastic stock.It shot pretty good when it was new and he recently started shooting it again with the same reload's and it was terrible.
We changed the scope and it didn't make much of a difference.
We shimmed the recoil lug and free floated the barrel and tried it and it shot a lot better so I filled in fore end of the stock with fiberglass to stiffen the flimsey stock and fill in in front of recoil lug(there was nothing there) and bedded the recoil lug and 1 1/2 of the barrel with fast dry JB weld.
We shot it today and it is shooting consistently 1\2 inch groups at a 100 yards
I have a 6.5 creedmoor in a S2 that shoots pretty good.Its getting bedded next.
Will post my results.
