[QUOTE="maninthemaze, post: 1187540, member: 87387"] I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to bedding and installing pillars. My first rifle to do was a used Savage 22-250 that needed a stock. So my first purchase was a couple DVD's from Richard Franklin. He has great instructional videos on just about every aspect of building a custom rifle. After that success I bedded the factory walnut stock on my 243 followed by another stock replacement on an 8mm mauser. So when the bug bit to build a custom rifle, I just ordered the barreled action from the gunsmith and then purchased everything else to assemble the rifle. I figured I saved around $1000 doing the rest of the assembly myself. The most expensive part of bedding should be the bedding compound itself. I used Devcon 10110 on all my rifles. That along with electrical tape, masking tape, q-tips, kiwi shoe polish for release agent and Remington bore bright for cleanup. My Manners stock came with the aluminum pillars ready to be cut to length and the barrel channel was cut for my barrel contour. I think most people with a moderate amount of mechanical aptitude can pillar bed a rifle. Getting my mag well to fit well was a definite lesson in frustration. Install, remove, file, install, remove, file, install....you get the idea. Anyways, having some part in the building of my rifle was definitely worth it to me, not to mention saving enough in the build to buy a scope. Here's one article that help make my decision to order his DVD'S. [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/pillarbedding.html]Stress-Free Pillar Bedding[/url] [/QUOTE]
