I know alot of folks bed their rail type scope bases, to get a solid non flexing platform. My question is, is it beneficial to bed the bases of Hybrid type rings such as Talley Lightweights or Hawkins Precision Hybrid rings?
It will definitely be more difficult to bed a two piece setup. I have a thought in my mind on how you could do it, but I'm not sure it would be any more beneficial than a good lap job.
I am talking about bedding the bases to the action, not the scope to the rings.
I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze in attempting to bed a two piece set. Torque them on with blue Loctite and lap them.
Yes. I know what you meant. Bedding a one piece accomplishes two things. First is a stress free mount for your scope. Second is permanent/semi-permanent attachment of the base to the action creating more surface area contacting the receiver. For a two piece base, you're going to have to design a way to make the two base pieces a single unit to ensure uniform bedding between the front and rear to create a stress free scope alignment.
