Vanguard s2 1/2 moa shooter

[cfnewfie]

So I have a vanguard s2 .308 with a #2 contour and I've never seen it before from one of these but after bedding the action and floating the barrel I'm now getting sub 1/2 groups with my handloads. It has a long ass throat I have to seat 168gr eldm out to 2.970 to get to the .010 otl so it's a single feed for now but it got me thinking about the claim that upward pressure is required on these rifles to be decent shooters which is the opposite of what I'm seeing. FYI before I did the stock work I was sitting right around an inch. I settled in on 43.0 gr of imr4064 which produced a .343 group and I think it'll go tighter when I start playing with seating depth.
