[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 682267, member: 22335"] Scott, Please re-read the links I provided again. The photos (once you get past the first page) on the Sniper's Hide thread will tell you more than my short descriptions below. You will see some good bedding jobs, some not as good. Both are educational. I'd probably add a few more holes (and deeper) to the front block. Removing the old stuff was a good idea and I'm not surprised it just popped off. Be sure there are no burrs sticking up and touching the action when you set it in the stock. Look photos on the top half of page 2 of the thread I posted. Tape the barrel to center it in the stock, then use a piece of paper (I use a receipt from the store or a $1 bill) to be sure the stock is not touching the action. If so, you may have to remove some paint or similar from the stock where the Devcon will attach. Don't be afraid to use some 80 grit to rough up the inside of the stock so that the Devcon will stick. I always use blue masking tape on a stud (3 inch bolt with head cut off) to center my forward action screw in the hole, with tape actually touching the action as I screw in the stud so Devcon doesn't get between them. Once the front stud has as much tape on it as I can apply I then do the same using a rear stud. I often can't get quite as much tape around a rear stud as the rear always seems a bit forward or backward in the hole if the front is centered, but that's OK. Let us know what questions you have.
