[QUOTE="Darcey, post: 490903, member: 31791"] I have just recently bedded a plastic stock on a remington 243 . The one gentleman was right about the oils in the stock causing some problems.I found that the bedding took around the action took well after rough sanding and degreasing but I should not have dug around my action bolt holes.If I were you, I would take out about 1/8" of stock around the action , grind a nice size pocket around the recoil lug , and 1/8" under the first inch of the barrel. Leave the action bolts alone. This will give you a nice skim bedding job. After this is done then do the free float of barrel. This will keep things true. Like he says, Plastic stock, Only so much you can do. This should help . Post later how you made out. [/QUOTE]
