[QUOTE="mikea5232, post: 1337799, member: 87416"] Shoot it first and see how it does. If the rifle doesn't need bedding your wasting time and money. Put your finger on the end of the forearm touching the barrel. (Dial indicator is better, but finger works good to) Tighten and loosen the action screws one at a time with the barreled action horizontal. If you can feel the barrel move up and down there is stress being imposed to the action. The stock would be a great candidate for a bedding job. I only say this because i have bedded some that never changed a thing when the barrel didn't move. And wasted my time and money. [/QUOTE]
