[QUOTE="300remum, post: 542837, member: 24626"] hi all! last winter i bedded my savage 16flhss to try and improve accuracy i only glass bedded the action and stopped at the barrel nut. i tought i'd try it like that first and if it didn't work, i'd bed the first 4 " of the barrel just in front of the barrel nut also. well...i'm there. want to try this. the rifle will often shoot 3-4 shot in 3/4" and the other 1 or 2 are fliers that enlarge the group to1-1/4".some fliers i could call, but most of the timei could feel the shot was good and still get a flier, since it has a sporter barrel i've read that i'd be better serve with the first few inches bedded or even with a pressure point. now after trying my remington free floated without success i re-did a pressure point and it's awesome. but this one has a solid laminated stock.with the flex in the savage stock, i'm afraid the POI might shift depending on how different pressure is put on the forearm (using bi-pod or off- hand shooting for example) i think bedding the first 4" of the barrel will make it less sensitive to that ( what do you think) by the way it's the non-accustock model, and i wait between 2min and 7-8 min between shots depending on ouside temp. so now, how do i do it? do i put devcon in the barrel channel and tape the stock to the action like i did when bedding the action? or do i screw the stock to the action, like i would when normally putting the rifle together, so that i'm sure the action is acually thight in is bedded place? thank's [/QUOTE]
