JF, I remember your other thread and was going to comment but it spun out of hand too quickly. You got some good advice in that thread and tons of bad. Its looks like your reading up was the best and following what was known good advice. Here are a few things that I can think of that may help you:
That action probably is not strong enough to have the barrel free floated. Some people would say to bed the barrel out from the action about 6 inches and then free float it (and thats good advice) but first I would put a pad near the end of the stock. You just have to bed 1/4 inch or so to give the barrel support. Then play with the tension on the action screw, start from scratch every time you shoot and remove all pressure when you quit so the gun is stored with no pressure. Also, get a good inch pound torqe wrench for setting tension. You gun might really like some pressure on the end and if not its easy to remove (then you can go back to 6 inches of bedding out from the action).
For trigger pull, try pinching it, that really works for some people. Just put your thumb on the back of the trigger gaurd and your index finger on the trigger and pinch. Not only does it get good feel for the trigger, it removes your hand from the stock.
Try sand bags front and back, totally remove the bipod. That bipod will have harmonics that are impossable to duplicate shot to shot depending on how you hold the gun. You can remove that variable with sand bags up front.
I like CCI Blazers but remember that Blazers are made by both Federal and CCI. Last I knew the bulk packs of 550 were made by Federal and the 500 bricks in boxes of 50 were made by CCI. You can also tell by the bullet shape and the product numbers but I cant find the link I has saved for that info. Dont matter I guess, that info could have changed since this last ammo shortage. In any case, its worth knowing in case your gun takes a liking to Federal or CCI or vice versa.
Good news is, I think its easy to get the expensive match .22 rounds, its just the normal stuff that wont be on the shelf for a while.
You are correct, put the cleaning kit away, for inside the barrel at least. You can clean the rest of the gun if you like but you want to keep the lube in the barrel for that ammo you are shooting. If you switch ammo, you can clean it but you dont need to. I never use a brush though, just a patch on weed eater line. I wont even use a cleaning rod, its too easy to wreck a barrel with one of those.
Keep up the good work, it looks like you really made some headway since you last posted. Last thing I can tell you is to take things slow from now on. Change only one thing at a time so you know if it dont work you can go back to what you had. Also on the same lines, try shooting the gun a few times after you make a change because from here on out you may change something and it seems like it dont work or is worse but you were really having a bad day. Shooting multiple times will show that. Good luck!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
