[QUOTE="NesikaChad, post: 266970, member: 7449"] Bedding. Just the name kinda reminds me of a cozy pile of linen begging to be snuggled up in. Fibrous pilings or pillars remind me of a bed of nails or kinky goth porno. (oops, secrets out. . .) Bedding is cool, sexy, and shooters can be a bit evangelical about it. It's a casting of the receiver that is inert to weather. That's it. As long as the resin system used has minimal shrinkage, good resistance to chemicals, sufficient hardness and high shear/compressive strength, it will work. The hype about one particular brand over another doesn't make the bedding any better or worse, it's what is easiest/most affordable/available for the gunsmith to use. I've bedded guns with $5.00 tubes of epoxy and I've used stuff that's over $100 bucks a pint. The rifle didn't notice the difference. As I've preached and preached before. A properly done bedding job makes a great rifle exceptional, it makes a good gun great, and etc. . .It will NOT however polish a turd. That's my story and I'm stickin to it. [/QUOTE]
