[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 2450167, member: 29241"] Whether right or wrong, I usually bed 1 1/2" to 2" in front of recoil lug. Even with a light barrel, being fully floated, it puts a considerable amount of stress on the action and threads. Barrels whip and resonate when fired. Think of the leverage that a 2ft pry bar transmits when pressure applied on outer end. Just a small pad relieves almost all of the stress off the action. When changing barrels it seems difficult to bed beyond lug without inducing stress to the pre bedded action surface. So I always rebed entire action and pad support under barrel. [/QUOTE]
