[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 268861, member: 8"] Well, we might as well hijack this thread being as it does not appear the owner is going to come and answer my question. There are two ways of bedding a rifle and for the average hunter either way works if done properly. First is the way you and I learned to do it which is to bed the recoil lug in as tight as possible on all sides so you can just barely get it back out. Second way is to apply a layer of tape to the left and right side of the recoil lug and one or two layers to the front of the recoil lug and then bed the lug. Once the goo has cured you take the action out and take off the tape and put the action back in. This leaves the recoil lug in contact at the bottom and at the back and no contact on the sides and front. I do not understand why a rifle will be accurate with freedom of the recoil lug to move right and left but I have one bedded that way and it is fine. And lots and lots of gunsmith use that method to build really accurate rifles so the fact that I do not understand just means that it is a good thing I am not a gunsmith. In my opinion it is best to let a gunsmith build a rifle the way they are comfortable doing and to choose one that knows how to build what you want built. [/QUOTE]
