[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 899774, member: 1290"] For ultimate accuracy I like to bed them tight front to rear but it does make it harder especially with the factory lug to get them out of the stock for cleaning. Most customers prefer a slip fit so we only tape the bottom, sides and front of the lug. My opinion of a floated barrel is that there is nothing touching the barrel forward of the action. Even our extreme lightweight or the heaviest rifles we never bed any portion of the barrel. With bedding under any part of the barrel, any and all forearm pressure is transmitted directly into the barrel causing point of impact shifts. It also variably changes the harmonics of the barrel. For most hunting rifles this isn't really much of a factor but as the ranges extend and the degrees of accuracy are magnified this becomes important. [/QUOTE]
