[QUOTE="Frank Kalisz, post: 2098905, member: 107244"] I have a nice Boyds “At One” for my Browning AB3 rifle - Boyds can fit their stocks on things nobody else will. I found it had a great fit on my action but I never tried to shoot with mine before I pillar bedded it. I get a very reliable 3/4MOA on that rifle now. My rifle with Boyds Stock and Tract Toric 2-10x42 scope weighs about 9 pounds. My only other recommendation is to get the “Target Grips” if you get that particular stock. For pillars I used Hillman 3/8-in spacer washers from local hardware store, and I used gray Marine Tex epoxy for my bedding material. Bedding went pretty easy for me - using “Social Regressive” YouTube for pillar technique, and “GunBlue490” YouTube for bedding technique. Key issues with bedding is tape strip on barrel to keep proper clearance there, hog out about 1/6-inch out of your bedding area, leave a couple high spots in your bedding area to keep proper clearance there, and of course use the plumbers putty and shoe wax on your action to make sure it doesn’t stick or hook onto your metal.
