[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2791386, member: 27307"] The 'bedding illustrated in your photograph is a thermal set type of epoxy. This has been used in factories for quite some time because it can be applied automatically with the barreled action pressed into place. The air gaps in your bedding really won't have any impact on accuracy or performance. Factories do [U]not[/U] use tape or any other form of spacing on a recoil lug since it would require hand application and cost way too much more in the back end costs. Bedding, in general, provokes dozens of methods of applications since everyone seems to have a favorite in order to be different and considered to be an expert. Reality is that a few methods actually work as has been demonstrated by professional gunsmiths and shooters. At one point, we received a pallet full of Winchester rifles in synthetic stocks with a purchase order to bed all of the barreled action back into those synthetic factory stocks. Each rifle had been factory bedded in this thermal set epoxy. None shot respectably. We bedded each one in Marine-Tex with the front, bottom and sides taped off for relief. All shot better than factory specs. I don't mention the accuracy on target since it was a factory barrel which we couldn't be responsible for. Best accuracy has been shown to take place when the lug has no contact except for the back. But, far too many have different ideas and will stand behind their solution vehemently. So be it. Choose your procedure and have at it! Read this article first though to see what really works: [URL]https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/stress-free-pillar-bedding/[/URL] I've posted this before and will continue to do so. Enjoy! :) [/QUOTE]
