[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 711734, member: 2736"] No problem. The light weight barrels sometimes require the bedding to be 1/2 to 1'' beyond the recoil pad to help support the barrel and dampen the harmonics. This is the reason that some sporter rifles have tip pressure near the end of the fore end. I dont like tip pressure because as the barrel heats up the zero starts to move. So if this is the case with a light contour I like to place a band of bedding about 1'' wide with no pressure on the barrel but in contact with it, this realy helps the barrel deal with the harmonics. I have also placed 2 screws near the fore end 90o from each other for adjustable tip pressure on the barrel. On heavy barrels a good pillar bed and full float is all that is normally needed. Each rifle reacts differently and should be addressed accordingly to get the optimum performance from it. Just like the bedding of different actions requires different techniques, barrels of different lengths and contours require some different bedding. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
