[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1791765, member: 38048"] You need to put enough bedding material to cover all the bottom half of receiver and recoil lug recess. Yes it will squeeze out and need cleaned up. When the action is all the way down touching the aluminum put the rear screw in and snug it up till it's touching and back it off 1/4 turn. The barrel weight sitting out the front will apply enough downward force to keep the action down. Some people use both screws and some people use big elastic bands. Doesn't matter one bit as long as you don't induce any stress in the action. The who point of bedding is to make the action fit precisely and without stress. Make sure to use a good release agent on all your metal work or you will have trouble getting it out of the stock. The bedding that squeezed out on the top of your stock can be left there till your bedding feels like tootsiroll Or taffey. Then it can be scraped up with a popcycle stick sharpened up. Once you scrape it up real good take a few patches with some wd40 or any solvent that won't harm your stock and wipe up the little stuff. Look over your whole stock real close because if you get some on it and it dries it's a real beech to get off. Good luck. Shep [/QUOTE]
