bedding

How much glass bedding (Devcon) do you recommend behind the recoil lug on a small caliber rifle (22-250). What I'm asking is how much of the stock should I take out to fill with bedding.

I searched and didnt come up with anything useful. I just got a B&C stock, and to see how much contact I had with the forward bedding area, I put a little grease on the bedding block. Screwed on the action and then took it back off. It looks like I am only getting contact with the bedding...

Well, I just got my EGW base and removed the old 2 piece base. It apperas there is some sort of bedding compound put there by the guys at Dick's when they mounted the scope there. I tried removing it with Acetone and Goo Off, but they didn't work. So, I scraped it off and got most it off, but...

I have a couple of first time gunsmithing tasks looming and have most of the details worked out but am missing a couple details I need help with. Pillar bedding - Scimitars excellent article has given me the confidence to attack this and I understand the concept of taping the pillars to the...

Will oils and solvents break down a Marine Tex bedding job quicker over time? Or are oils and solvents not an issue with Marine Tex? How long will a good bedding job with 7075 pillars and Marine Tex last in a fiberglass/composite stock? Thanks.

I will be bedding my Rem 700 tomorrow. The stock that I have is an HS Precision/ Aluminum block. My question is......... Do I want the recoil lug flush againist the aluminum block? Do I want to remove some of the aluminum to let the bedding compound fill in the void to create a better fit...

I have a MCS-T4 that I got for my Sako Quad trainer. My rifle wasnt part of Jared's group buy so, its not bedded (so far). As it stands, the inletting is near perfect. There is little (almost none) room for the rifle to move within the existing Manners inletting. I cant help but think that a...

Anyone ever did this? I have a 700P in 300WM that should shoot more consistant than it does. When looking at the bedding, the reciever is only contacting the bedding block in about 5 high spots and it looks like you might expect if steel was rubbing on aluminum because the fit was poor. Was...

My brother-in-law bought a new MKII in the laminated stock, here's some problems we fixed and another way of bedding easily done with no stock mods. I did a trigger job on this gun, also, and I will post that when I get more time. First thing I noticed was the barrel did not fit well in the...

Posted this on Rimfirecentral so i'll copy it here also if someone need some info or pics of bedding job (yes another one )but when i was deciding to bed my rifle i had little pics available and every little bit helps... I've allready posted about my problems with Varmint and that i've...

As the delivery of my Sharp Shooters Supply stock gets near, I am thinking more about bedding. I have some of the Brownells Alum. pillar sleeves, and box of MarineTex. On My 10/22 I used MarineTex only, the MK II is getting pillars. Here is my question. On such a low recoiling gun I am wondering...

my first attempt at bedding. most scary part is trusting 89 cent shoe polish too 500 dollar rifle. well it came out pretty good. hope the bullet holes will stop dancing straight up the target. but that could be breathing. I will find out friday. [/img]

I have a couple Savage 10FP's that I plan on glass bedding, one with a Duramaxx stock and the other with a laminated BVSS stock. Both of these stocks are pillar bedded, so are there any tricks/recommendations to bedding over the pillars? Thanks!

I have two VTR Remington rifles. I am considerioing bedding them both to improve accuracy. Their stock is ported in the forend and there are dual pressure point studs at the end of the forstock. Anyone have imput as to thoughts on going about this. Free float or replace the pressure point...

I finnaly bit the bullet. I spent last night embeading a piece of 3/4 square steel tubing in the forend of the tupperware stock and tonight I'm finishing it off with Marine Tex. Hopefully it turns out well. Just the process of melting the steel in place added all kinds of riggidity to it, I can...

I fitted a new HS Precision stock to my LA Mod 70. Great improvement over factory plastic stock. The stock comes with a lump of epoxy with instructions to skim bed. Is this the best stuff to bed this action? Has anyone used this?

Had a few more rifles to bed so I figured that I'd take the time to get a few pics and share. There were a few things different about each job and hopefully this may help a few DIY guys. Enjoy. First one was a Savage FTR single shot. It has a 30 inch heavy barrel so we wanted a pad in front of...

Just did a bedding job on my B&C, from the DIY post. My question is how far back should the barrel be floated? Is it all the way back to the lug, or how far? Wondering if I screwed up. Barrel is floated all the way back to about 1" from the lug were it runs into the bedding compound.

I see that the M5 comes with bedding pillars, but the M5 floorplate does not. Would someone be willing to educate me on the need for the pillars with the M5? Are these the same pillars that one would use if they were pillar bedding an action? Just wanted to get gain some knowledge in this area.

Has anyone here had any experience with this V-Block? How does the accuracy of this V-block bedding compare to that of something like Devcon Titanium bedding or some of the other leading epoxy bedding jobs?
