[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 77958, member: 10"] [b]Re: First range test with the new 1-8 3 groove Lilja 270 Allen Mag bar[/b] Dave, There are pics of each stock earlier on the post so you can see the visual differences of each. These stocks use an aluminum skeleton that is covers with a high impact resistant plastic shell. I have never found this type of material to allow the bedding compound to permanently bond to the bedding compound that I am using so I did not bed these rifles and it seems they are shooting extremely well as is. I am sure to some degree a bedding job would increase consistancy but if it will break free down the road it is not worth the money in my opinion. You are building a 7mm RUM on a short action?? Do you just have the action already so that is why you are using it or do you have other motives for using the SA on the 7mm RUM rifle? The barrels on both of these Allen Magnums are significantly heavier then the barrel you described so you should not have a problem. Both are 30" and of a heavier contour then the barrel you mention so I would say you would be fine. I personally do not like using a barrel support bedding pad when I use a top grade barrel. As long as the receiver will handle the weight of the barrel without problems I personally feel anything touching a fine quality barrel will detract from its top accuracy potential. With the barrel contour you discribe, I do not think you will have any problem at all without bedding the barrel shank. I would try it without first and then see how she does, you can always add a barrel shank pad later. Will this be a Rem SA?? Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
