Am thinking about bedding my H.S.Precision stock with the aluminum block.Any advice would be appreciated.Have bedded other stocks,so am not new to this.I know you guys encourage new members to use the search function,but i'm not very good on computers.Tried several key words and got 200 hits each time,with about 95% not related to my search.If anyone feels up to it,I would accept advice on the search function,also, or a link to what i am looking for. Many Thanks Lightman

Re: More bedding questions
if you have bedded up others what advice are you looking for? You may want to rough up the bedding block to give the epoxy something to adhere to

Pete,
Folow this link. It has pics and tips for several different actions. Rem 700s in HS stocks, Savage in laminate, Howa in Manners, etc. Feel free to PM if you have any questions.

Re: More bedding questions
Deadly0311,I've had issues with my rifle shifting poi if i have to break it down for cleaning.A properly bedded stock should not do this,so I want to bed it.H.S.says not to, so i wanted info from anybody that has.It should be a straight-foreward deal but the "violating the warrenty"clause with the new stock caught my attention.I planned to drill or mill some shallow holes or grooves in the aluminum for the compound to adhere to.
David, thanks!Thats what i was looking for.How did the Remington turn out after you were done? Thanks Lightman

Re: More bedding questions
As for the stock, if you really like the HS Precision, then you might as well go ahead and bed it and not worry about the warranty. If you could live without the HS Precision, id sell it here and then upgrade to a McMillan or Manners. Drilling shallow holes will be fine, like others said, either practice on a turd rifle or just drill the grooves and dry fit it a few times then bed away.

All the Remingtons turned out great. I bedded two in that thread
alone. A new Rem 700 5R and an older 700 PSS.
