[QUOTE="LDHunter, post: 1681390, member: 105"] I gave up on getting my aluminum bedding block rifles to be completely reliable and now have them skim bedded after confirming that, like the ones I had before, they seem fine and then they're not and then they seem fine and then they're not... It was so frustrating and having them skim bedded removed all that frustration. I just don't understand how an aluminum block could be truly reliable without it being either machined to exactly match the action or properly skim bedded. Personally I've never seen it happen yet. Torquing a round receiver bottom into an aluminum v-block never made sense to me because even minuscule shifting or movement of the action in the block after tightening is totally unacceptable. There is a good reason that many benchrest shooters glue their action into their stocks. Sorry... I didn't mean to hijack this thread and I also think the rifle maker should fix all this properly and if they don't their ineptitude should be exposed for all the shooting world to see. This is completely and utterly inexcusable. [/QUOTE]
