[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 422119, member: 7449"] Here's the deal with bedding. I write all my own inletting programs using some pretty sophisticated CAD/CAM software and machine them with a CNC mill. I prefer to use a virgin stock because it saves the work of having to go back and fill things in before bedding. Filling stuff in means mixing up fiberglass matting chopped up and mixed with resin to literally pack all the original features so that I can treat it like a new stock. Wood stocks are a particular challenge to do, but i can do it. I don't like to obnoxiously toot my own horn. Bedding and stock work is something I take pretty seriously. I like to think the quality/fit/finish speaks for itself. So, if I were to take your factory stock and bed it the way I do all of the full build guns I do it would be pretty expensive. Much more than if we started with a virgin stock and did a "from scratch" job. The reason is Remington makes a "one size for all" stock. The inlets are so oversized that anything will fit in there. Mine run much, much tighter to preserve as much surface area of the bedding as possible. Here's what I'm sorta getting at. This is a photo I pulled from the net showing a typical "home grown" bedding job.
