I did mine a little different some of you may freak but it has worked out great for me.
I actually reverse bedded it, the marine tex is actually bonded to the action & back of the recoil lug. the reason i did it this way is two fold.
1- I believe in modifyong the less expensive part my & factory action costs about 1/2 as much as the aics chassis.
2- I may want to move to a full custom action in the future & chipping out the marine-tex from a chassis would be hell.
this has worked out well for me and the action is bedded in a stress free mannor.
plus removing the marine-tex from a convex surface like the rem-700 receiver will be fairly easy. </div></div>Are you sure your recoil lug wasnt just too long for the lug recess causing the action to rock a little? I have seen that happen before with AICS's, just had to take a little off the bottom of the recoil lug. Not saying that was the case, but rather just sharing my experience.
On another note I have never bedded any of the AICS's I have owned as the guns I had in them always shot great.

yea I looked at all the reasons for this & finally discovered that the receiver was arching up in the back
I did take a look at the lug and there is daylight, not much but there is clearence.
