[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 681604, member: 2736"] For hunting rifles where they may be banged around a little, I like to completely bed the recoil lug except for the bottom. (I place several layers of tape on the bottom of the lug and trim it to match the bottom), Then after bedding, remove it to get the clearance needed (I like .020). This method holds the barreled action from moving back and forth and also keeps it from rotating. I also recomend if you dont have pillars , the torque should be around 45 inch/pounds on the action screws. Pillars allow higher torque. Get a torque wrench and after each removal of the barreled action from the stock re torque to the same torque. This should help the consistency J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
