[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1999002, member: 22335"] Same here. I don't bed the barrel at all, so I wrap the vinyl tape on the first portion of the barrel with as many layers as can easily fit without hitting the stock. I then put 1-2 layers of blue tape in the stock just ahead of the recoil lug recess, similar to what is described above. This leaves a very thin space between the stock and the barrel. Once I remove the barreled action after bedding, I use an Xacto knife to score the edge of the bedding material closest to the recoil lug, since a bit of it will have entered the space. Lift the blue tape, and the excess material pops out right along the score line. [/QUOTE]
