[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 110547, member: 1290"] The main difference between bedding a Mark 5 on a bedding block and most other guns has to do with the recoil lug. The Mark 5 must be bedded tight on bottom of the lug where say a M700 you usually put a couple layers of tape on the bottom of the lug to create clearance. Otherwise when you tighten the front screw that threads into the recoil lug it will put a lot of stress on the front of the action. My recoil lug is actually bedded tight all the way around. It does make it a lot harder to put in and out of the stock but there isn't much reason to be taking it out of the "wood" that much anyway. When I do my 300wby Accumark I will post some pictures but it will be a couple weeks before I get to it. [/QUOTE]
