Bedding questions for MK II owners.

[Patrick_S]

So I just picked up a MK II FV and have ordered a Sharp Shooter Supply Laminate stock for it. I have some questions about bedding.

1: Did you bed your MK II?
2: Pillar, Epoxy or both?
3: In reference to no. 2, Why did you choose the route that you did?

Im thinking about just pillar bedding it, but I am wondering if going the extra step with epoxy is worth in on the little .22.

p.s. Id like to see pics of your bedding jobs.

I have a Mark II but haven't bedded it. Here's the best write up I've found though.

I didn't do anything except to insert a shim in front of the action screw to jack the sporter-weight barrel up and out of the barrel channel in the factory plastic stock, to float it. Accuracy improved overall, but I found that the rifle's ammo preference also changed.

I'm not seeking the ultimate accuracy, simply a consistent demonstration of the rifle's potential. When I can deliver it on demand, I know I'm up to par, and when I can't, I know I need to settle down and get it right. More than this is not necessary to my practice/training regimen, and demanding better gets expensive and frustrating in a hurry. That's not something I need in my shooting experience.

It's amazing sometime how a simple change can alter or help to the entire way the rifle shoot!!

Greg, that's the type of performance I am looking for. This isn't to be a BR gun. I am considering just pillar bedding the stock to protect it more than anything. Thanks
