[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1996391, member: 112579"] I leave room in front and under the lug but the sides are tight. And not much room. When I bed I use plumbers tape on the bottom and front. About .005 thickness. And make sure your screws are tight. The old way was front tight and the back tight but not real tight. And if a 3 screw the middle barely snug. When I bed the action is bedded front to back. So screws are tight but if a 3 screw the middle not so much. The object of bedding is a perfect fit, reduced vibration, and no torque on the action. And of course screws not tight when you put the action in. I tighten it to hit bottom and back off a quarter turn while the glass is setting up. [/QUOTE]
