[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 681850, member: 22335"] I'd recommend you look at this thread (ignore pics on the first page - links got hacked): [URL="http://www.snipershide.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1167022#Post1167022"]Bedding Project - Sniper's Hide Forums[/URL] and this article: [URL="http://www.6mmbr.com/pillarbedding.html"]Stress-Free Pillar Bedding[/URL] Between the two I think you'll learn quite a bit about how to re-do your bedding job, and that will help you immensely. For the huge cavity in front of the recoil lug I'd probably fill the front half with plumber's putty or PlayDoh when I bedded the rifle, and then use Devcon to fill the rest of it and bed the recoil lug. I usually place a layer of tape on the front and the sides of the recoil lug (as well as underneath) as it makes it far easier to remove and reinstall the action. When they fit very tight because of no space it can be a challenge at times. I'd drill a few holes into that aluminum to help hold the bedding compound (Devcon being my favorite) in place. Just my thoughts looking at your bedding photos. [/QUOTE]
