[QUOTE="halvey, post: 106103, member: 4017"] I have the Farrell bases on both my Rem 700's varmints in 223 and 308. Great solid bases! I bedded mine with JB Weld and used Silicone grease - the stuff you find at any home center to use as a release agent. I've heard of others having good luck witht he AcraGlass stuff, but it needs to be warm and I bedded my guns in a 55 degree basement in the winter, so it didn't cure right. So I went to the JB Weld. After bedding, I also used red loctite on the 4 screws so that base is solid! It can be removed however. My friend did the same on this guns and when he rebarreled, the gunsmith got them off. He used heat, a lot, but they caome off. I then used Badger rings, lapped them, then used an adjustable torque wrench to sinch everything up just right. All in all, easy to do, just go slow and follow directions closely! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
