[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 900546, member: 22335"] Yes, it will fit more snugly. Isn't that the point? But, the epoxy won't compress enough to make things tighter than they were when bedded. You cause pressure in places you don't want by tightening the screws when bedding and causing stress on the barrelled action. Go ahead and Google the term "stress free bedding" and do more investigation if you wish. There are plenty of articles by gunsmiths and enthusiasts with a lot more experience than me. You want the barrelled action to fit the same in the stock as it does at rest - and if you're tightening screws you're imposing some amount of stress on the action while the epoxy is drying. Resist the urge. :D [/QUOTE]
