[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1654152, member: 87243"] I intentionally do not. A couple reasons, for one the barrel gets significantly hotter than the action, and can cause undue stresses that differ from the action significantly when heated and expanded. For two, if you ever change your barrel you need to remove it anyway. For three, I have noticed no discernable difference in accuracy with a bedding job approximately 1" down the barrel before and after I removed the barrel shank bedding. For four, the majority of high end custom long range rifle builders (that I have seen) do not do it. Just my experience. [/QUOTE]
