[QUOTE="ta406, post: 1026226, member: 34644"] The last one I did was using a few shims I pick up off of Ernie the Gunsmiths website. They are basically different thickness shims that space the action off of the bedding surface just enough to get an adequate about of bedding material between the two. If you use a good quality bedding material like Devcon, I don't think you'll have to worry about cracking even if you skim bed it. I recently ordered a McMillan stock and their website stated that the generally leave a .035 gap between the action and pillars for bedding material. Others may recommend that the action touch the pilliars. Lots of different theories out there. There are some pretty smart guys on here that will probably give you better ideas than what I have put forward. But when I get my new stock I'm going off McMillans recommendations. [/QUOTE]
