[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1102613, member: 90399"] Bedding an action is not hard. I don't consider myself "mechanically inclined" and I was able to bed my first action last month. Minimally it helped at least 1/3 of an inch groups at 100 yards. I did my first bedding with JB Weld because it was a cheap gun with a cheap stock and I was experimenting anyways. After seeing my results I would use JB Weld again without hesitation, unless I really wanted the bedding compound to be clear. There were 2 particular YT videos that helped me a lot. I watched them both 3 times all the way through while I had the stock in my hands so I could compare how mine looked to how theirs looked. I also hold lightweight hunting rifles different than I hold heavier rifles when shooting. People say that muzzle jump from lightweight rifles doesn't affect POI because the bullet has already left the barrel... but it sure does seem like muzzle jump affects POI to me. [/QUOTE]
