[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1773700, member: 3728"] Play Doe dries out, the modeling clay from Brownell's will not dry out, re use it for 30+ years. Skim coat all bedding blocks, remember that custom actions are the only ones that may NOT warp during heat treat. You can bed the recoil lug or free float, I have played with this numerous times with customs. If there is a difference it is hard to tell. I do not bed underneath barrels anymore, even on a 30" unturned blank on a Rem 700. It is fun to play with different ideas to come up with your own personal favorite, and this will probably change over time. Don't be scared to experiment. Another issue, three screw actions like Ruger and Win, often are ruined by tightening down on the center screw. I learned to leave these screws loose or completely remove them. A world class bedding job will have pillars for the center screw also. Make sure that your magazine box floats between the action and floor plate. You can hit the bottom of the mag box on a belt sander or add washers between the floor plate and stock to get the mag box to fit. Often it is wise to bevel the floor plate's edges and bottom of the mag box so the male and female parts will slide together easier during assembly. It is a great Winter project to bed all your rifles, free float some barrels, tune some triggers. Long range shooters should consider bedding their scope base on the action and bedding the scope rings. [/QUOTE]
