[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 1393576, member: 10755"] After bedding countless synthetic stocks I know there is a ‘knack’ to parting the stock from the action if no clearance for the recoil lug hasn’t been made. Instead of prising the barrel/action up and out of the stock by the barrel, use the bolt as a lever from the rear of the action and pull up on BOTH the bolt and barrel evenly upward. Sometimes, just lifting with the bolt gets the recoil lug moving just enough to ‘pop’ the whole action free. All Ruger 77’s I glass bed have the recoil lug firmly bedded, no clearance is made for the sides, front or under the lug, it is snug so that the rifle is pulled into the bedding when the front screw is tightened. Your X-Bolt is similar to this, as the lug rests in the stock and a recess in the action abutts the lug, it should be tight for positive bedding. Cheers. :) [/QUOTE]
