There have been questions in the past on this, so I put together a little video.

As always this is "A" way. Not necessarily "The" way. It works for me and has survived just fine for thousands of rounds on a hard use rifle.

Tag for watching later. Gotta love Gov computers that block most pics and almost all videos here.

Some of us like the detail, the more the merrier.

I tried to cut as much as I could without loosing any steps.

Be glad I didn't leave in taking out each screw, mixing the epoxy, all the spreading, etc. There is a lot that was left on the cutting room floor otherwise you would have needed some Red Bull to get through it.

Great video!! I am going to try it this weekend.
 
Re: M700 Scope Base Bedding video.


Thanks for sharing. I have that base and will be making sure it has the correct fit and possibly be doing this.
 
Re: M700 Scope Base Bedding video.

Did you ever check the top of the base with a "straight-edge" before mounting to see if maybe the base was bowed due to machining of the slots.
FWIW: I have seen many 1 piece bowed bases both alum and steel.
Thank you for taking the time to make a great vid.
Respectfully,

Re: M700 Scope Base Bedding video.

I just started this process. When im using devcon, whats the wait time? I know JB weld has a different cure time than devcon. So how long do i need to wait before running a drill bit through the holes? I also accidentally put a little pressure on the rear side (the side with the compound) will it be ok. I didnt put much pressure, just a little.

Look at what the cure time is on the Devcon. I don't recall offhand. Just give it a couple hours until it's hard but not fully cured. When in doubt leave some on your mixing board to estimate off of.

If you didn't squeeze any out when you pressed on the base you should be OK. You won't know for sure until you pull it off. If you do have some gaps, then you can just scuff it and re-bed it. You don't have to grind it all off.

I had made the exact same observation. Was the base checked for straightness?
Kudos to the production quality of the video.
