[QUOTE="Old Rooster, post: 2248182, member: 108576"] What epoxy did you use?I use Devcon 2 part epoxy. When I set the action into the bedded stock I leave it for 4 to 5 yours and remove the barreled action,inspect to see if epoxy got into places I did not want it to get and clean it out while soft.I then re-apply release agent to action and sit the action back into the stock and tighten screws until they touch and let it sit for final curing. I have never stuck a stock or had epoxy in places I did not want it to go as I use plenty of modeling clay. The only stock I did that had over .006 stock stress was my first.The gunsmith that was teaching me took a 1 inch lapping bar with sand paper glued on it and straightened it out in a few minutes.That was aluminum pillars not steel. I have done well over 40 stocks and always shoot for .002 to .000 stock stress. From the pic's you have good coverage,should shoot well. [/QUOTE]
