[QUOTE="Black67, post: 1063076, member: 41359"] What is the best way to remove the bedding material in a factory wood stock? I believe this is some of the problems that I am having with my 30-06. I have not been happy with how this gun shoots, and I have been all over with this gun with different types of ammo. I changed out scope bases too just to see if that might have been the problem. I have a Winchester Model 70 Featherweight stainless FN model. When I have the action just sitting in the stock, it has a pivot point just infront of the lug, at the start of the barrel. I see a large amount of bedding material at this location and where it is making contact. Also, the barrel is not straight in the channel, and I think a bit of extra material is on one side of the lug. So, what I was thinking of doing was to either remove this material and bed it myself or put it into another Featherweight stock that I have. I have a New Haven Featherweight stock that I bought when I lived in Conn, and the figuring is close to a SuperGrade stock. I know that if I go to the New Haven stock, that I have to trim some on the back left side to fit, but not sure where else on top. The bottom metal won't fit, so I would have to either work the stock to make if fit or see if a 2 piece bottom metal would work with the FN action. Also, if I do all this I would pillar bed and bed the action on either stock. Just looking for some input and ideas concerning this. Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
