[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1270545, member: 78762"] I'm going to touch on a couple of things. First, I have several guns bedded with JB weld and never noticed and rust issues. I'm not saying it couldn't happen, but the rust issue could happen with no bedding or any type of bedding. Especially if one would go out in the field when it was wet, then not take the barreled action out of the stock to clean and lube afterwards. As far as the bedding past the lug. I don't bed the barrel nut. I wrap it with tape, and relieve the excess bedding overflow afterwards. I know some people do, and have very good results from it. I don't like to do more than than what has to be done. Some people will "tune" the gun by bedding forward of the lug and removing small amounts of bedding until they find good groups. I usually find a node thru ladder test. But to be honest I never really had a rifle give me fits to where I couldn't find accuracy. If I did have a temperamental rifle, I would not hesitate to experiment with bedding tune. [/QUOTE]
